USB ports not right P4C800 Deluxe

First off I want to thank all that replyed to my last post about drivers
disk!

I think I got all the drivers in right. Now I have a new problem. I have a
USB scanner and a battery backup.
I installed the backup and it keeps saying to connect it when I boot the
machine! I can unplug the usb cable
and reconnect it and it picks it up. Then when I reboot it's right back to
the same message. The scanner I can't
even get to install right. The instructions say to install the software and
drivers then connect the scanner. The system
must see it but a message comes up saying something about a bad service or
something! Then says I can't install it.
Both the Battery backup and Scanner worked just fine on my old XP-SP1
system. I saw on a webpage somewhere
that this would happen if the USB was shareing a IRQ with something else (I
can't find that site again now to see if there
was a fix) anyway I checked and my ATI 9800 card and my USB share IRQ 16
could this be my problem?
Or do I have bad USB ports? I checked in device manager and the scanner has
a yellow exclamation mark but the
battery backup dosn't. Also all the USB stuff say they are working fine. The
troubleshooter is no help at all!!!
I tryed to uninstall the USB ports and the ATI card but they just keep
takeing the same IRQ each time. And
there is no option to change them in device manager.
Thanks for any help on this.
 
Are they on the same USB controller/port? My Canon LIDE 80 scanner draws enough
current that other devices on the same port will not work unless I unplug the
scanner. Try a different port.

Same Port? You mean side by side?
I tryed moveing the plugs through all 4 plugins.
It's like they are all on the same line. Thanks for your reply though I'll
keep that in mind, if I ever get things to
work right!
Sure am missing my old P4PE board now!

Yes, you have 4 USB plugs on the back, each of the sets of 2 use one port. You
also have additional Ports on the motherboard to use for an external or front
of the case ports. Have you tried them also?

No I have no way to connect them, My case doesn't have any front ports.
There
is a spot for them under a little flip up door , but none there.

I thought that there was a way to change IRQ's in windows? Or did that go
out with
Windows 98? Or might they be changed in BIOS somehow? As this is a different
BIOS then I'm use to maybe I have something set wrong?
I would kinda like to use this new board for more then starting Windows XP,
Installing
and uninstalling stuff Heh : ) Anything else I can try or check? I sent Tech
support a
message haven't heard from them yet. As I'm not an electrician I have no way
to even
tell if the ports are working right. I just figure if I can get the backup
to work they must be fine!

Here is the setup right now in case you or someone else has any ideas ....
P4C800 Deluxe says 1014 BIOS
P4 3.0 CPU
Antec case w/430 true power (4 case fans)
2 Kingston 512 PC3200 bought as set
2 80 gig IDE hard drives Master and slave IDE 0
DVD burner master IDE 1
CD player slave
Sapphire 9800 128meg
using onboard sound right now
the Battery backup is Belkin
the scanner and backup I have removed for now.

I will try and get something to connect the other USB ports to and see if
they work, Thanks
for the reply : )
