When I enable the USB 2.0 controller on my motherboard (see sig) WindowsXP detects the controller as a Standard USB Controller instead of the USB 2.0 ECHI Controller that Microsoft says it is supposed to be.

Ive searched all over the net, on Gigabyte's site, on viaarena.com, I can't find any info on this. I don't have any USB 2.0 devices, but I do plan on getting an external burner soon, so I'd like to have working USB 2.0.

Any help on this would be great.

Just a note, I do have SP1 installed, so XP should have drivers for the controller already installed, and I have installed VIA's USB filter patch (even though they are very vague about what this filter patch does exactly).

you have on gigabyte cd usb 2.0 drivers. if it does not work (for me did - ga7vax-1394) expand the msusb_xp.cab and update manualy (system/drivers... etc.)
good luck

Unfortunately that's not quite the case. The drivers on the driver cd for the motherboard are for Win2k and WinXP Pre-Service Pack 1. In fact, if you go to the Gigabyte webiste they specifically warn against installing the drivers after you have SP1 installed. It messed with the IDE drivers or some such nonsense.

So the driver CD is useless for this.
