As it was shutting down I surmised that the BIOS must have changed the boot
order - yup that's all it was -nothing else had changed but it put my SATA
drive first so never saw the Vista drive. Vista now boots - but same issue -
tells me about high-speed device on usb 1.1 port - and shows 10 unused
ports.

Arrrggghh ...
reboot after updating ASUS chipset firmware = no Vista boot prompt -
just XP options ( I had it boot to Vista menu then default to xp after 5
seconds) Ran BCD - nothing there. Vistabootpro - same thing. It's been
awhile since I first loaded Vista - gonna have to remember how to enter
boot params. I know I backed it all up - but in what folder ?
Why /what happened to its loader after updating chipset ?????

It's an Asus A8N-E mb - Bios shows high speed enabled . And it (XP)
SENSES it ( it DOES present the popup ), otherwise wouldn't
recognize/warn me that a high-speed device is attached to a slow root
hub . But like you said the fast hub isn't "taking charge". Same as all
the others I've read in google/forums. Asus site is useless.
http://support.asus.com/download/dow...us&model=A8N-E
No explanation of any of their downloads for my mobo , other than on a
few it states be sure to download " xxx update " before installing this
one.

Off to fix Vista for now - that will give me a break from asus issues.
Thanks
Bobb

I did a little research on the Asus ASN-E. Uses the nForce Ultra Chipset.
Asus has the chipset driver package version 6.31. However, on nVidia's
site they have version 6.86 (40+ Megabytes ).
I pulled the Pdf manual and BIOS setup does have an Enable function for
USB 2.0.

Here is what I'd do to check. Enter BIOS setup, leave USB2 enabled but
turn of the USB controller. Boot to some OS, Add a System Environment
variable named:
DevMgr_Show_NonPresent_Devices
set it's value = 1
Download the nVidia 6.86 package.
Open Device Manager, Click View - tic/check "Show Hidden Devices"
Expand the Universal Serial Bus Controllers category
Uninstall everything - all should be grayed out (Phantom Status)
Install the nVidia Chipset package
Reboot ( Leaving USB controller Disabled )
Reboot ( Enable USB Controller )

See what happens ?

Some FYI's

I had installed 6.86 a while back ( just as maintenance for Vista
install )
" 6.86_nforce_win2kxp_international_whql.exe " - got it.

Will do , but I did that earlier and upon reboot windows reloaded found

The ASUS chipset ? Has only Enet,audio, raid drivers no usb.

Cannot do. Disable controller and all 3 are disabled.
I CAN turn off USB 2 and leave USB controller + legacy enabled
Is that what you meant ?

No, I meant to disable All controllers to allow you to completely
purge your USB device category. But the more I think that idea
over it sounds less likely to work. If this problem shows up on a
number of different OS'es then it must be a hardware issue with
the motherboard itself. Do you know if USB2.0 has ever worked
properly on the Asus board ? Not sure what else to recommend.
You may have to just disable the on-board USB and get a PCI
USB2 add-in card.

Not sure this has any connection to your problem but only on return from
sleep does that message appear for me. It is on a USB 2 connection and had
no problems on setup and on regular boot, just return from sleep. This is
only one of the anomalies that happen with sleep.

I had done tried that before coming here.

Exactly - I agree. YET it's that popup message that tells me that the hw
MUST recognize that it IS a USB 2.0 device.

Not sure - just got the camera.

I have one - I removed it prior to all of this to get it down to just
the mobo usb ports.
PCI card I pulled had firewire and USB 2 ports. I got a deal on it at
CompUSA but hadn't used it .

Ok that's a wrap .
Thanks for the help - let's call it a night.
