I hate your pc Shane

Right mate! Try installing SP2 (USB's will stop working), so then try this dl http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en it's the SP1 drivers for USB. You will then have SP2 installed but without the drivers hopefully...

No doubt you've already tried this, but if you haven't and I don't suggest it...

hi scouse..
i cant install those drivers ..they are for sp.1.. if you have sp.2 installed it will not install them..
think i can say i beat the forum...lol
thanks anyways..

Shane -- you uninstalled SP2/ did all the 'cleanout' steps/ then did you reinstall from a clean-boot state when you reinstalled SP2??

if you did not --of course nothing changed-- you did everything but the most important part.

As I stated in my previous post-- this is a major OS revision-- not a normal 'windows update'-- if you are having install issues -- you usually need to change something DURING install that could be interfering with proper install. Namely THIRD-PARTY Software like your antivirus/firewall. ESPECIALLY if you run Norton products. I have had more difficulties due to Norton during installs than any other single program. That alone could be the problem. I am not--at this point -- absolutely certain, but if I was a betting-man-- I'd be betting on Norton as the SOURCE of this. Norton gets into corners of your computer that are unbelievable ( ask anyone who has tried to uninstall it -- took me three weeks to root it all out !) Just when you think it's all gone/ shut down forever-- you go to start some program and it crashes due to some hidden Norton fragment in a dark corner of your registry.

Tricky issues require following instructions completely.

I mean no offense

hi all
ok..i formated drive and reinstalled xp home just used usb mouse with xp drivers.. then i installed sp.2 from disc..no other programes where installed.
soon as via usb enhanced host cotroller installed and i rebooted pc mouse stopped working untill unplugged and plugged back in again ?
also if i unistall the enhanced controller usb mouse worked again.
but when i reboot enhanced controller reinstalls and mouse stops working again. so i tryed web cam just in case mouse is faulty and the cam did the same..
now i know itwas not any other programe conflicting with drivers..
so helppppppppppppppp..lol

Hi Shane,

Going back to my previous post about using SP2 but with SP1 drivers - have you tried installing SP2, deleting the USB drivers, and then trying to install the SP1 USB drivers?

ok im back again
i have rolled the drivers back to standard usb..was enhanced usb host..
still no joy..all usb devices work when plugged in and they work when i just
restart pc but when pc shut down and rebooted nothing all usb devices are dead ? is there anything in sp2 that shuts usbs down when pc shut down ?
what i cant under stand thou.. is when pc shut down it still charges mouse ?
but just wont activate it on boot up.
spent a lot of money on new printer, mouse and web cam and now i cant use them...
hope someone can sort it out for me soon as ive given up now..
.. shane ..
