USB controller missing after installing xp

Hey gang I have a clone with an intel d845gvr mother board and after I installed a fresh Win XP I found that there is no usb controller listed in device manager at all. I thought that it was just a bad install tried it again and the same thing! any one know what has happened?

Thank you , Yes I loaded that from they're web site  infinst911autol.exe still nothing about the controller showed up
Ok ... it is the chipset drivers. You may need to enable them.
Try first downloading from here:
http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/cs-009236.htm
If nothing works, notice that at the bottom of the page there is a "Related Topics" link for USB.....
Bits...
A little more... on this link http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/cs-009024.htm
They explain that you have to enable it in the BIOS.... this might be the case. I can only find information for the  D845GVSR  not for  the d845gvr.... are you sure the model is correct.
Well ... in any case, try enabling as explained in the above link.
Bits ....
In case none of the above work for you, you might need to verify if the motherboard ID matches the one you have:

Is there any settings in the BIOS that are set incorrectly by chance - also try a BIOS upgrade..
If all else fails buy a PCI USB 2.0 card ... :|
HI gang currently VERY busy I have not abandoned this but am working on other client prioreties. BitsBytesandMore: thank you for your help I will get back as soon as I can
ok folks I have tried to instal several chipsets and have found the on that they recommend, still no go. I have looked at flashing the bios but all that I have found were earlier versions, so I opted not to go that route, BUT I am wondering if I flash to an earlier version the usb controller will show up? any thoughts?
