I am having problems with my USB Controllers. I bought a USB 2.0
External Hard drive Enclosure. It has been plug and play on three
computers (all with WinXP Home) at USB 2.0 speeds; however, on my
desktop I get a message stating that there is no High-Speed USB Host
Controller installed and that the device will operate at USB 1 speeds
only. My desktop is "homemade" with an Albatron Board with the Intel
865PE Chipset (yes, it does have USB 2.0 support). It has WinXP Pro
with SP1a. I have read news groups for hours and this is what I have
done.

All the Microsoft docs say to right click on the Enhanced USB
Controller under device manager and reinstall the driver (SP1a is
suppose to have USB 2.0 support automatically... hahaha). Under my
device manager there is no Enhanced USB Controller. I have tried to
update all the Standard USB Controllers, but they will not find a USB
Enhanced driver.

I have downloaded the most recent version of my Chipset drivers from
Intel and installed them.

I went to add new hardware (after adding and removing drivers for
three hours) and saw a PCI/USB Controller that had the yellow--this
device is not doing so well--sign on it. I installed the device and
it was the Enhanced USB 2.0 Controller. Now in the Device Manager
there are normal USB Controllers and a single Enhanced USB Controller;
but, when I plug my external hard drive in I get a warning that states
that "there has been a problem installing your device and it may not
function correctly". The drive does not show up in my computer any
more and cannot be added under Add new Hardware...

If I do a system restore and back up to a point before I installed the
Enhanced Controller, the External Hard drive will function after the
original warning of "No High-Speed USB Host..."

I am between a rock and a hard place. Without the enhanced
controller, I have a USB 2.0 external drive that will work at USB 1
speeds. With the enhanced controller, I cannot get my drive to
install (note... all my other USB devices will still work as USB 1,
only the external drive will not work).

I need some help!

Thanks,

Tom
