Am using release version of Vista Ultimate. It doesn't recognize my 1Gb USB
memory stick or my Belkin 7 port USB hub. Is there anything I can do to fix
this?

Thanks in advance for your help - Paul.
 
Yes, my mouse, keyboard & game controller are USB and they are working fine.
When I boot back to XP, everything USB works.

One thing to try, if the machine has two seperate USB controllers like one
for USB 1 and USB 2 is try it in a different port.

It sounds, like as other posters have said a BIOS or driver issue.

Thanks for the info. I have got an ASUS board with 3Gb RAM in place. I'll
give it a go and let you know.
 
Have that ASUS mb as well and had the same USB issues. Now the real goofy
thing is instead of lower RAM to 2 gig (had 3 gig installed) I loaded the
board up with 4 gig and the USB funtioned properly again.
 
The problem lies with the USB
controller. It does not work propely with 2.0 support turned on on the BIOS.

Microsoft just released a new USB update.

If the update does not work, turn off suppport for 2.0, or download this
update. This should take car eof the problem.
