ok so heres my problem. I recently reformatted my computer and ya know I did all the usual. Got all of the essential programs for life (ITUNES) and for some reason its being really difficult. Now its not really my itunes fault cause it turns out that I'm missing the Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller driver. Now everyone is saying that I could get iut from the windows updates but I can't access them because my version of XP is not registered. Can anyone tell me where I could find the driver to download. Thanks

depends on ur board and what usb controller you have.

well doesnt universal mean that its wel..... universal. shouldn't there be a driver specifically for teh Universial Serial Bus(USB) Driver

Posted by: Crysalis

you should have installed that before any programs using your motherboard's CD.

^^yup yup

what they said ^^, universal is not describing the device driver, or model, or brand name, its describing that many devices(printers, scanners, mp3 players, mice, keyboards..etc...) use a universal way of connecting to a computer.

Umm, not to state the obvious, but shouldn't USB support be automatically installed with windows?

well the USB ports work but when i plug in my ipod it says that a hi speed evice is plugged into a non hi speed port because of the controoler is not installed

Posted by: Alrightitsricky

and others say that if I got windows update or service pack 2 or something that the driver automatically comes with it. So shouldn't that mean that its a common one and works with most anything?

It is, but there are still drivers needed for the motherboard to know what the heck those ports are and what they mean. Windows does have a ton of USB drivers, but its from 2001 and can't possibly have all of the drivers pre-2001 and up to 2007.

Bah... you're right, they SHOULD be there, but they aren't.
