Definite probability. I have a relatively old [3+ years] Kodak Easyshare camera and its associated software will be on the system. Removing that, then downloading and installing the newer XP software might fix that?

From: Will Gortoa on 4 Jan 2007 15:44 Following up my own post on this part: In article <JZjGvKBUHWnFFwXE(a)nospam.demon.co.uk>, Will Gortoa <|||TheHipBlueBirdHouse|||@nospam.demon.co.uk> > >And/or... > >>Also, >> >>http://www.usbman.com/USB%202%20News.htm > >SiS USB Registry Patch (Windows XP) > >Fixes the undetectable problem with SiS USB controller on Windows XP. >Release patch file for the USB devices sometimes undetectable issue on >Windows� XP with SiS USB controllers. > >That looks like the puppy, you think? Just one problem... I can't get >the associated link to work! I googled and found another working link of the same item. Everything looks fine now - no yellow exclamation marks! And, Everest now reports the following under peripherals: Peripherals: USB1 Controller SiS 7001 PCI-USB Open Host Controller USB1 Controller SiS 7001 PCI-USB Open Host Controller USB1 Controller SiS 7001 PCI-USB Open Host Controller USB2 Controller SiS 7002 USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller USB Device USB Mass Storage Device USB Device USB Optical WheelMouse So... Does the above mean I've also now got USB 2.0 enabled? [I'm slightly confused by the other references to USB1.] -- Will Gortoa Running: OS W98SE/2.9GHZ processor/512Mb memory/40GB hard drive/Demon HomeOffice broadband through NAT router/Turnpike 6.05S mail-news reader [IMPORTANT!

In the Device Manager/Right click on the Computer icon and ,"Scan for Hardware Changes". You may need winXP CD or SP2 if it asks for a drivers disk. Also refer back to USB man and re-check usb 2.00 info. Does your mother board support USB 2.00? and if so is it enabled in the BIOS if required? -- Free Windows/PC help, http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/trouble.html http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=88558 |
