SOLVED: USB ports not working after mobo driver install (fresh xp install)
Hello all, long time browser first poster...
Anyways, I had to do a fresh install of XP after some nasty spyware/keloggers found their way onto my system.
Everything works fine until after i install the motherboard drivers.
motherboard: EVGA nforce 680i SLI
after the PC reboots I am still able to access the BIOS screen wth the keyboard, and my mouse lights are on. As soon as windows XP (home) loads, the lights on my mouse turn off, and both the keyboard and mouse become unresponsive.
I have tried several things. First, i verified that USB support was enabled in the BIOS. I then tried another fresh install (easy beacuse i partitioned 12g just for the install, so i could just re-format if anything like this ever happened) and installed the current drivers for the mouse and keyboard first (logitech g5 laser mouse and g15 keyboard). Then i installed the mobo drivers..... same results.
I tried the other way around as well, but to no avail. I am completely stumped as to why the darn drivers that came with the mobo won't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve
EDIT: the old-school (ps/2, ps/3?) keyboard/mouse ports aren't working either
