Asus p4pe can't get USB 2 to work

[Liviathan]

According to what I've read I should have USB2 ports on this Mobo. I've tried a lot of things and can't get windows to set drivers to USB2. No idea what am missing...or doing wrong.
Any info/tips would be great.

You should be able to get it to work. I had the same problem with my p4pe. I don't remember the solution, but someone else here will surely come along with the answer.

I hope so....

Did you make sure that the USB 2.0 bios settings is set to enable? What OS do you use? if XP then it just requires installing service pack 1 or 2 to enable USB 2.0 support. It should show up in the device mangler under the USB tab as an enhanced host controller

I have XP W/sp2.

The bios looks like it has the USB2 setting.

See a enhanced controller in the mangler? If not try the "add new hardware" and see if you can get them to take that way. I had that board and had no trouble with USB 2.0 on it. I did XP+sp1 at the time then chipset drivers, and no issues.

Figured the issue out. I was looking at the wrong part of the bios. There is a chipset configuration and thats where USB2.0 is enabled. Don't understand why it comes disable by default.

Good deal, I thought that had to be the problem, and thanks for posting back so the answer shows up for searchers
