No USB2 after XP Pro install on "SiS962 MuTIOL® Media I/O (Southbridge)"

Hi there,

My first post!

As the title says, I used my own copy of XP Pro to do a clean install on my Packard Bell laptop. Now my USB2 sockets have been downgraded to USB1.

The PB site has a patch which apparently should fix this, however it won't run as I have installed service pack1, and the patch says SP1 should fix the problem.

I Googled "Sis962 drivers" and found what I think I am looking for on another manufacturers website (computer specs look exactly the same as mine).

Is it possible these drivers will work, they are for the same OS and chipset so I think they might.

Also, is it possible to uninstall SP1 (perhaps system restore?) and see if I can run the patch?

Many thanks in advance!

Paul.

have solved this.

for anyone with a similar problem;

I laid my hands on a cd that came with a pci usb2 card. installed the disc but not the hardware and it worked a treat.
