I upgraded a motherboard on by PC and cannot get the USB
drivers to load. I have Home Edition with NTFS. The
devices are recognized on boot, but when Windows goes to
load the drivers I get an error that "There was a problem
installing the Enhanced Host Bus Adapter driver. Access
denied." I have loaded Sp1. I have also contacted the MB
manufacturer and they say this is a OS problem. Help.
 
What MB? USB 1.1 or 2.0? Try going to My
Computer>Manage>Device Manager and scroll down to USB
Controllers and try to manually update driver.
 
This is an ECS k75sa Pro MB with USB 2.0. I have already
tried updating the drivers manually, with the same result.

Sounds like a permissions problem in the Registry. Load up
REGEDT32 browse to the USB driver bit in

HKEY_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB
and from Edit, Permissions, give Everyone Full Control.
Then reinstall drivers again!
