If the usb port has shorted out, it may well have caused the rest of your problems. However, since I can`t see the actual problem myself, I`m not sure.

The front usb ports are usually connected to the mobo via small wires and are actually part of the case, rather than the mobo itself. Do you have a spare usb port on the back of the case that you can use?

Regards Howard

yer theres 2 usb ports at the back of the case, one is connected for keyboard and mouse, My only thing is howard, why does it go on about usb port when I am putting chipset drivers in and yet nothing is plugged into usb port 2 and port 1 is occupied by the net.

Like I said, if your front usb port is shorted, that could be the problem. However, as has been already discussed, it could also be a faulty Windows disk, or other hardware.

Until the system has been looked at by a professional, we won`t know for sure exactly what the cause of the problem is.

right I have installed a new version of xp prof. Do I need to install chipset drivers again?

 

[bobby123]

You need to install the Microsoft Net Framework from HERE, then run the installer again.

Hi,

Are you able to find the drivers online? You can try searching in the manufacturer's official website.
