Hi all;

This board is the latest rev 5.0 ad it has 4 USB 2.0 ports... Operating System Windows ME.

The ports show up fine in the Device Manager... until I plug in my printer... a Brother 3200C... then ports show yellow
Question marks ...of course they do not work... I am stumped. Any ideas will be appreciated.

The processor is a 2200XP running as a 1500....yes the bus speed is set to 133 in the bios... memory chips are two 256
SDRAM PC 133... is the problem that I am not running DDR2100 or better??


Thanks

David
 
Do you have a card in the first PCI slot? There is a known conflict between
that and the USB ports if the USB 2 setting is enabled in the BIOS.
Documented in the 'Features' section of the manual.

Is USB 2 supported in Windows ME? I thought that it was only in Windows XP.

You might try disabling USB 2 in the BIOS and see if that helps.

Don't know if they require it, but would the mobo CD have come with
drivers for USB 2.0 which you would need to install, possibly?
