Hi, I am having a p4 based pc using intel d845gvad2 mobo. on 2 seperate partitions of the hdd i have win98 & win-xp installed. whenever i tried to attach a pen drive or mobile on a usb port, the system hangs. i tried to use the pendrive by installing appropriate drivers in win98 also but the problem remains. kindly suggest remedies.
regards.... bye... ashish

Does this problem appears in XP? I am facing this problem in XP since few days. I also created a thread to ask for assistance but I got no reply.
Does any body else facing similar problem?

chk this -

  1. Reboot (or power on) system.
  2. Press "F2" during POST (Power-on Self Test) to enter system BIOS setup program.
  3. Select "ADVANCED" menu using arrow (left and right) keys.
  4. Select "USB Configuration" and press <enter>.
  5. Enable "High-speed USB".
  6. Press "F10" to Save & Exit BIOS setup program. ( Hi-Speed USB 2.0 controllers are now enabled and your operating system should detect New Hardware during the next normal boot cycle.
  7. Cancel "New Hardware Found".
