usb not working

[donkapone]

so after a file system crash, i've reinstalled windows xp sp2 and now my none of my usb ports work. I've tried various drivers, I've tried uninstalling the drivers, I've tried reinstalling windows again, I've tried downloading all of the available updates through "Windows Update", I've tried disabling/enabling usb support through BIOS. It seems that I've tried everything I am now seriously desperate and I need my usb to function, because I need my printer and other hardware... Any advice would be truly appreciatted. Thank you! By the way, my motherboard is DFI AD77 based on VIA KT400 chipset if it helps...

no suggestions?

 

[donkapone]

is there any possibility that something might be wrong with MB jumpers?

 

[donkapone]

even when i finish installing windows xp with sp2, then the device manager doesn't show that these usb ports exist... something is seriously wrong here... does anybody have ANY idea what is up with that? :/

You probably have lost usb on that MB.
If you can get your hands on one, replace it
(this happened to me as well, just about 2 months ago)

Hello,

Have you tried installing the drivers for your DFI AD77 motherboard from the manufacturer's website?:

Download Driver

Yes, I've tried that. And I've also tried to download any available updates through "Windows Update". Nothing works.

maybe i need a PCI USB-Adapter? but then again, if that doesn't work, then it'd be a shame...

enable them in your bios

i've already said that i've tried disabling them and enabling them again in the BIOS. That didn't help...
