I recently reformatted my system and reinstalled WinXP Pro, and now I cannot get my USB up to 2.0 due to the fact my host controler is OpenHCD. I tried manually changing it but it would not allow the change to take place after a reboot.
Here are my system specs:
CPU - AMD64 3200+ socket 754 (2.xGhz)
Mobo - MSI K8N Neo Platium w/nForce3 chipset
RAM - Corsair XMS DDR400 512x2 (1GB)
WinXP SP2

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd really like to take advantage of my 2.0 devices and cannot seem to manually fix this.

Try removing the device in Device Manager and having Windows redetect it. Also, this goes in Technical Support and does not belong in this forum.

You got the wrong concept of how USB 2.0 works. Even with a USB 2.0 enabled chipset, you will still see a handful of USB 1.1 controller instances (UHCI or OHCI). Whenever you plug a low or full bandwidth device into a port, it'll be routed to one of those. Only if you plug a high speed USB 2.0 device will it be routed to the EHCI controller instance.

What you possibly lack is a driver for the EHCI controller ... that'll be service pack 2, and you're sorted.

Also, there is usually a driver disk that came with the motherboard. Make sure you have usb 2.0 support in the bios as well :)
