    Help USB Drivers

    For some reason, the USB drivers are not on my daughter's PC (she's 9). I don't know where they have gone, but now the mouse, printer and het steering wheelk for her racing games are no longer detected, and when I looked in the system files, the USB listing has a big yellow question mark on it and when I check the properties, it says no drivers installed.

    How do I get them back?

    I guess I need the drivers so that I can burn them onto a CD on th downstairs PC and then install them, but I can't find them anywhere.

    Help please. She's driving me insane!!!

    Hi Bilbo

    Can you click on the question mark and go to 'update drivers'?

    If not then do you have the disk that came with the motherboard or the Pc when you bought it? the drivers should be on there.

    If not find out what mobo or PC you have and get the drivers from the manufacturers website.

    Does the machine have service pack 2 installed? If it's XP.

    Right click on the yellow question mark and select uninstall. Then remove all the USB devices from the computer, reset and then plug them back in. Might just need a refresh.

    Try totally removing the icon with the yellow thingy
    then rebooting
    if your lucky it should find it, if not
    write down the info it tells you and search it on the net
    usual places for the driver are
    c:\windows
    c:\windows\system
    c:\windows system32

    you could also point it to theese locations and see

    Go on www.driveragent.com and see if it lists the missing drivers - it should. PM me with the list and I'll download them from the site as I have a subscription with them.

    HOLD FIRE GUYS !!!

    I went onto that website & downloaded the drivers. It looks like it fixed the USB ports.

    Kid is happy

    During install, it said USB2 was availble with SP1 but as her rig is not on the net, how can I get them to USB2 from USB1?




    Thanks for your replies and help above fellas...

    As mentioned above, service pack 2 should do the job (no need for sp1)- http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpsp2.html

    There is a hardware problem.
    Look in BIOS if the USB is enable. If it is you may change the moatherboard because the USB hub is broken if not enable it and all it be ok.
    To acces the BIOS you must press delete at power on but the best thing is to read the screen and see wath key you must press for setup
