Asus A8N-E Motherboard_No USB 2.0 Support?

I replaced an Asus A8N5X with an Asus A8N-E to gain the SATA 3gb/s which the A8N5X lacked. After the replacement I did a clean XP install.
Then I
1) Installed the NIVIDA IDE Driver and Ethernet Driver.
2) Restarted and installed XP Service Pack 2.
3) Did my simple USB test by plugging in my 1Gig Flash Drive.
A message popped up from the tray stating that this PC was not capable of operating at high speed USB 2.0. This is the first time I encountered this. None of the PC's I've done this past year exhibited this.
Is my Asus motherboard defective? BIOS Shows USB Controller enabled, USB 2.0 controller enabled and USB legacy support enabled.

Except for printers, I really don't use USB much, but I am planning on getting an external USB hard drive where I'll really notice the speed. How does one go about finding out for sure that you are indeed running at USB 2.0?
Thanks for any help.
 
It's been awhile, but isn't there a USB driver on the CD to install as well?

Also, did you try a port on the motherboard itself, or the front ports on a case? Try a motherboard port to double-check this.
 
you need to install the drivers for it. i assume you already have SP2? good. look in the CD in the drivers folder and find the USB driver. you may have to install it manually.
 
All of the NIVIDA motherboard driver disks I've seen in 06 had a USB driver listed in the driver group (IDE, ethernet, USB and realtek ). When you click the "install USB driver", you are informed by NIVIDA that Microsoft's SP1 or SP2 installs the driver. All of the asus A8N-E's USB ports gave the same reults that I stated in step 3 of my motherboard/XP setup.
Thanks for you responding.
 
ForumMaster, I could not find a trace of a drivers folder on my "Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Advanced Security Technologies" CD. This is the CD that was mailed to me (along with 8 others) back when it was released.
I requested a copy at the Microsoft net site and got nine copies. Very strange from tight fisted MS.
What Service pack-2 do you have?
