My usb ports got screwed. non of them work, is there anything i can do other than installing a new usb card(pci). a faulty usb devise caused the problem.
i also have a problem regarding my USB... my board is also P4VMM2
before i reformatted my pc, everything (all devices) were doing fine.. but after the reformat and installation of winXP there is no USB being detected, no USB controller can be found in the device manager... is it the same with kalp's problem?
thank you! i also have a problem regarding my USB... my board is also P4VMM2

Re:
USB is powered by a current limited 5.0 volts supply. Normally even if there is a short circuit, the port is well protected but if a higher voltage is applied from outside (defetive USB device) the port can be damaged. There is a very small fuse or fusible resistor in the PCB. Unless it is burned, it is difficult to find. You can try to look near the area of the USB socket. If you were lucky enough to find it, you can replace it.
Another possible solution - connect a USB hub with external power supply to one of the USB ports in your PC. If the datalines of our internal USB is still OK, then you can use this HUB. The power will come from the externel supply. Connect the USB devices on the hub and not on the PC.

The drivers are here. You shouldn't need to do anything to install the card other than plug it into a PCI slot in your computer and install the drivers.
One is to replace the whole motherboard but that would probably also entail new ram, cpu, cooler, graphics card, even maybe a new PSU.
Two is to fit a pci usb 2.0 card.
You said you did TWO but it didnt work. I am not sure why without more details but if you are using windoes 95 or less than that would be a major problem.
Only the later windows 98 and above can really make full use of USB 2.0 and even with 98 and win ME you would need to make sure he correct drivers were installed too.
Quite easy buy one from fry's online a 4 port pci slot type and remove the two screws on one side pull the safety plate off the PCI slot off the case and install the PCI card into the mother board and install screw and run the DVD to make the usb ports work and pt lid back on and your set to go.
The message comes up when a USB 2 device is connected to a slower USB 1 or 1.1 port. It is only to advise you that the devise will operate faster on a USB 2 port. If your computer has only USB 1 or 1.1 ports, you will always see the message. You can buy and install a card with USB 2 ports and install it. It will come with the USB 2 drivers. Install the card and the drivers and then connect your USB 2 device to the new hardware and you should not see the message anymore.
Good luck, And let me know ho it works out for you.
Try removing the PCI USB Adaptor and clean the gold contact with dry brush, then place it back again. If this still doesn't work, try moving the PCI USB Adaptor into other available PCI slot.
Oh God i have the same exact problem. I run XP Pro and USB ports all malfunctioned, after tyring EVERYTHING I reloaded windows and it worked.......for about 8 months, now I'm back to I can't use my printer, storage devices ANYTHING that plugs into the USB ports.
