Can't Install USB Controller drivers (devices).
On Win XP (sp2), fully patched.
Because I could not get a new flash drive to work, I uninstalled
all of the USB controller devices drivers.
Now I can't get them back.
I have an Asus PTGD1-LA, Intel chipset 915G
Northbridge - i915G graphics and memory controller hub.
Souhtbridge - ICH6 Intel I/O controller Hub 5
I have tried installing the latest drivers from Intel,
but all I get is.
"There was a problem installing this hardware
Universal Serial Bus (USB) controller
The driver installation file for this device is missing a necessary entry."
I have pointed the hardware wizard to the internet and to my hard drive.
I still get the same message.
Any Help would be appreciated.
Thank You

You ran the 'Issues' function and it didn't help?
You posted this question on USENET too I see :) Try removing the devices and then reboot, then let XP redetect them. This seems to work in special cases.
Lastly- DId you downlad the latest ASUS BIOS and USB drivers ?
I hope this helps !

i would re-install the chipset drivers first - look on the motherboard cd, or look them up on the asus Site.
BTW - that model is unknown on the asus site

I did a reinstallation of Windows, the repair installation, that fixed it.
:) glad it worked
You might want to download CCleaner (www.ccleaner.com) and run the 'Issues' function.
It will clean out any left over junk in your registry and give you a clean start.
Good Luck,
