K here goes...I talked my brother into upgrading his HP...he does photography and needs to make it faster and stuff. So he also wanted a 2.0 USB card. We got this one off newegg for 20 or so. http://www.ppa-usa.com/product_pages/usb/1578.htm I installed it fine but it wont run at 2.0...in the device Manager list the Univeral Serial Bus (USB) Controller has an error...when I try to install the drivers with it I get this error at the end of the installation: The driver installation file for this device is missing a necessary file. This may be because the INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor. The device is suppsoed to be compatable with almost all OS's Win98/se, Win ME, Win 2000, Win XP. But the damn CD wouldnt even start to read in his computer...I opened it up on mine and transfered the files to his via a USB drive....If I can find an installation file or driver for the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller i can fix it...but I cant seem to hunt one down. Now his computer hasnt been updated in a long time (probably why theres probs). So who can help? Please...he's mad at me and I need to get this fixed for him...
No its SP1..and I dotn think thats even up to date...Think thatll do it? I dunno if I can take him into goin up to SP2 though...
SP1 should be sufficient - have you tried the card in another PC to see if its card specific or PC specific.
iirc, SP1 doesn't have integrated USB2.0 drivers, but SP1a and SP2 do. Have you check the BIOS? More often than not, there are USB settings. Make sure these are set to high-speed (400mbps), not full-speed (something like 11mbps)....HUGE difference.
I had a similar problem a while ago. I had to get new drivers for the Intel 845 chipset. To figure out what chipset you have go to "Device Manager"/"System Devices" and look for entries like "...Processor to I/O controller". Then google for whatever looks like chip set numbers on those lines to get more info.
