Gigabyte p35c DS3R USB ports not working

Dangerer

This motherboard has been giving me problems since last year when I purchased it. System specs are below in my sig. Anyhow since last year the Sata raid drivers weren't recognized by vista as a signed driver which caused me to have to disable driver signing everytime I turn the computer on. I just upgraded the sata drivers and now I no longer need to disable driver signing when booting up the computer, while in the bios menu and before vista loads the login screen, all usb ports are functional and legacy, USB and PnP are all enabled in bios, but the USB ports still don't work once vista loads

With my PS/2 Mouse/keyboard set up i've checked out device manager, the USB ports all have yellow exclamation marks next to them, so I unplugged all the ports and uninstalled all the USB drivers. Rebooted so vista could reinstall them and it fails to install every single drive. What is there for me to do at this point?

I've tried using intel's latest INF utility updater program but while installing the USB drivers, the software crashes stating an unknown error has occured. The same thing happens when I use the disc that came with the motherboard. The bios is the latest version as well

I've also uninstalled the SATA Raid drivers and the USB ports STILL do not work, I've even tried reverting to the original version that was unsigned by Vista and the USB ports just do not work anymore.

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

that's after vista fails to install the USB drivers


 
Well.. I solved the issue, probably not the most orthodox method and I definitely do not advise others to do the same but what I did was I take the usbhub.sys, usbport.sys, usbuhci.sys and hccoin.dll from the system32 directory from my laptop and sent it to my desktop to replace. I had to have full admin rights to move the system files around. I know it's risky but I exhausted every resource I had available and as dangerous as the solution may sound, it worked for me.
