USB Problems... Please Help! PLEASE!
I have tried multiple forums and searched high and low and can't find anything to help me with this and it's driving me NUTS!
Where do I begin?
Basically there is some serious sort of USB problem. It seems the built in motherboard ports work ok on the back, if I unplug something, then plug it back in... it no longer works. If I try to plug in my external HDD, it does not work. No bubble pops up. No device has any yellow exclimation points in device manager, and the HDD doesn't list in the "Disk Management" screen. So the only way those work is if something is plugged into them before it boots. But the HDD won't work either way.
All of those work at USB 2.0 speeds.
My front USB ports however... do not. Of the front 2 ports... one works... at usb 1.1 speeds. The other one... no matter what you plug into it... says "device not recognized by windows" or something to that nature? Go figure.... (I checked and there is no usb wire on the #10 pin either like I've read in some forums to check for)
They were all recognized in vista as 2.0 and worked fine. So this has to be a Windows 7 bug or something. In looking at the device manager I did notice this which is quite aggravating... (see pic)
I've tried removing them all and letting windows re-recognize them. Nothing changed... (Upon trying to uninstall the 2.0 one... I get BSOD, EVERYTIME)
I've tried going manually to make the 1.1 ones use the same 2.0 driver as the other, this did not work either.
Please help if you can. I'm basically trying to transfer files at USB 1.1 Speeds (The only way the computer will recognize the drive is in that ONE port) .... it's unbearable... it said it was going to take 40 hours to transfer my files.... I obviously cancelled it.
