ecs 848P-A: USB2???

[littleberry]

Is there a trick to getting USB2 working with this mboard (ECS 848P-A) on win2000/SP3? No downloads are available, and the supplied CD will not install the USB2 drivers - am I missing something? Littleberry

Not sure about 2K, with xp, you had to get sp1.

First load the Intel INF update, then reboot and load Intel's USB 2.0 driver.

You'll need service pack 4 for win2k usb support. After loading it, do a "refresh" of the usb driver, reboot, and windows will recognize it.

Thanks, I was starting to wonder. When I right-click the inf file and select "install", then reboot, it keeps saying "windows was unable..." and I have to cancel the installation. I'll have to do the download and try again.
At least I was able to get sound under win2k, but for the life of me I don't know how - it was really flaky! If I can get the USB2 working, then this will be OK, even though I can't use win98se, which has been my favorite up to now.
Thanks for all the help. The temperature stays around 43C for the last few hours - I guess that zalman did the trick.

I downloaded SP4 overnight (132megs) and finally USB2 works with WIN2000. A lot of headaches, but, the system now looks like a keeper. I have to leave win98se behind (funny how we get so attached to old comfortable things). Littleberry

When I disconnect my usb2 h/d, the speakers hum (this board uses realtek 97 audio) and they won't stop until I plug a h/d back into the usb2 slot (either front or back). It is the same in XP as win2k - any ideas? Very irritating and perplexinb... littleberry
