Guest Doug D. Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I am currently running Windows XP Media Center 2005 and am having problems with my usb devices. My printer and MP3 player were working fine up to recently, now my system says something is plugged in but does not recognize anything. I have tried the supposed "HOT FIX", unplugging & plugging in every device, and the suspending power fixes to no avail. Can anybody help me out? Apparently from what I read, SP3 fixes this problem, but alas there is problems installing that as well. HELP ME!! I had made no changes to any programs or hardware prior to this. I even ran an AVG Anti-virus scan to make sure everything was clean. -- Doug D.(puzzled)

Guest Doug D. Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Re: usb problems Downloaded the Intel chipset drivers as suggusted, but it came with an error, " system does meet requirements". Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Can you download CPU-Z 1.46, run it, and tell me some info on the "Mainboard" tab. It'll tell me if it is a non-Intel chipset and more system information. - Thee Chicago Wolf

With an ATI northbridge / southbridge, I believe you might need the drivers form the motherboard maunfacture or AMD/ATI.

Ok, my only guess would be to update the ATI chipset drives since this is an ATI based and not an Intel based chipset motherboard. That makes sense why the Intel ones didn't work. Do you have any clue as to the motherboard maker and model? If you open the case door it'll usually be printer in big letters such as Gigabyte ABC-123 or ASUS XYZ-123 Pro. My guess is that the makers of the motherboard have released new drivers for the motherboard you ma not have installed yet. - Thee Chicago Wolf
Guest Doug D. Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Re: usb problems Chicago Wolf I have downloaded and installed the chipset from ATI. The board manufacturer is GATEWAY. This did not solve any issues. System still says unknown device when anything is plugged. I also brought the system to the office to work on and the system still has one unknown device in the USB root even though nothing was connected.

Ok, don't panic..yet. Ha! What model Gateway is this? What you can also do is click on that Unknown Device, delete it, and then click the Action menu > Scan for hardware changes and see if it finds the device or just puts the unknown device back in there. If it just says unknown device after that, go and grab this nifty utility called "Unknown Devices" 1.4.20 from here (http://www.halfdone.com/ukd/). Fire it up and see if it gives any details as to what the Unknown Device might be. - Thee Chicago Wolf

Guest Thee Chicago Wolf Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Re: usb problems >Actually it is an Emachines #H5038 system with Gateway manufactured board. Ok, from what I can gather, this is using XP Media Center Edition? Does CPU-Z tell you what BIOS Version is currently there? It would appear on the Mainboard tab. - Thee Chicago Wolf
Guest Doug D. Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Re: usb problems Chicago Wolf Thanks for all the help, but I finally solved the problem. I went out and bought and installed a new USB-PCI card. Just finished installing it and seems to be working so far.
