July 17th, 2008 · 8 Comments

i'm using windows xp pro sp2. i have just reformatted my system and now i have to reinstall all the necessary drivers. got issues with connecting my high-end nokia phone to the computer as it requires usb 2.0. my mobo installation cd said that the usb 2.0 driver is available in windows xp pro sp1, so i downloaded it. as i was trying to install it, it said that i have a newer service pack version and that i cannot apply that driver. geesh. please help. thankies. =)

      its your hardware most likely, depending on how old your computer is you may have usb 1.0 hardware rather then usb 2.0. buy a pci card from circuit city or somewhere with usb 2.0

      Try a windows update or go to your motherboard manufacturers website and download/install the most recent drivers for your computer.

      i have had this problem before, what i did was to go to my device manager, uninstall the USB drivers that are listed, and then search for plug and play devices. it should come up with the USB thing that u just uninstalled, however after u say to install automatically, it should use the newer 2.0 drivers. if u have future questions, or need a step by step help, please email me.

      The usb 2.0 drivers are available on the Microsoft website. If you go to the system properties, click on the usb, and update drivers, it will give you the option to connect to the internet to update.

      Windows XP SP2 should have the driver if SP1 had it.
      Chances are the USB ports already have the proper driver for it. If not…
      Try uninstalling the USB ports in Device Manager and reboot the computer, Windows should re-install the drivers for the USB ports when loading. Make sure before you do this that you remove all devices connected to the USB ports. Once the Pc has rebooted and re-installed the drivers then plug the nokia phone in the USB port. Hope this helps

      YOU ALREADY HAVE USB 2.0 DRIVERS, WITH WINDOWS XP SERVICE PACK 2.
      YOU NEED NOT INSTALL ANY NEW USB 2.0 DRIVER .

      GO TO CONTROL PANEL.
      CLICK ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS
      CLICK SERVICES
      HIGHLIGHT PLUG & PLAY
      AND RIGHT CLICK IT
      CLICK PROPERTIES
      IN WINDOW THAT OPENS
      AGAINST STARTUP (IN DROP DOWN WINDOW)
      PUT VALUE AS AUTOMATIC
      PRESS START. O.K
      AGAIN HIGHLIGHT UNIVERSAL PLUG AND PLAY
      RIGHTCLICK IT AND CLICK START

      NOW CONNECT YOUR DEVICE TO COMPUTER AND TEST IT .

      HOPE IT HELPS.

      Hello,

      Does anyone know what could be causing my internet explorer 7 to run as slow as it is. I have a security system with my service provider, could that be the reason to my Pc running do dammm SLOW. also I have to refresh all the time & when am on an application I get a warning that says this ” A script in internet explorer is causing your computer to run slow if it contines your computer may become unresponsive.” I don’t get it. I have done all I can to see what is causing my issues , but I can’t seem to think what can it be & what should I do. Last but not least when I open my internet on the very bottom above start menu I get “DONE, BUT WITH ERRORS” when am online…I am running windows xp servvice pack 3!! but the weird thing also is that when I start my PC to load when it has been shut down. On my windows info it says “Windows Xp Professional” GEESH..PLZ HELP ME.. All this is very confusing to me. If only I had a tech right next to me..lol..Thanks you guys!!god bless

    A Slow System?
    Harassed by DLL errors?
    Plagued by constant Blue Screens?
    Receiving error messages and don't know why?
