Manufacturer Kobian
I want to update this bios let me how to do this?
I want to update it because my usb2 is not working
my os is windows xp home edition and system manager tells me there is Enhanced controller with 8 ports but i have only 5 physical ports i don't understand this. If i plug usb2.0 device it says
"This is Non-Hi-speed port "
what should i do ?
in bios there is no mention of Enable USB 2.0
only Use USB function Enabled/Disabled option is present

any help will be appreciated.
bye,

 

USB speed is a function of motherboard and not of BIOS. Even if you upgrade your BIOS, you are not going to get USB 2.0 if your motherboard does not supports it.

There could be 8 USB ports on your board but only 5 may be connected.

 

USB2 drivers are on your XP SP2 and SP3 update.

 

Enhanced controller means that the 2.0 drivers are present, but it does not mean they are working correctly. In Device Manager -> Universal Serial Bus Controllers you can select all the listings and uninstall them, they will be automatically reinstalled when you reboot.

Look up the website for motherboard (system) and find any updates for the chipset drivers.

In addition to mattman's post,

If you're struggling to find the manufacturer's website then read the instructionsw below and we'll try to assist.

To identify your motherboard please download CPU-Z and save it to your Desktop. Unzip and run cpuz.exe.

Select the Mainboard tab and post the details in the Manufacturer and Model fields.

 

how to enable usb2

hi,
thanks for replying i used cpu-z it says mainboard manufacture
is Kobian i945GZD.
does it support usb2?
what i should do i checked kobian website but i am not getting anything there is no manual what should i do?
thanks in advance

 

Sorry, there's not a lot of support for that mainboard on the manufacturers website (read zero), only thing I can suggest is you contact the manufacturers online support and ask for assistance.

 

Intel have a 945GZ chipset, but not a 945GZD.

This is the main update for that chipset

It won't install if it is the wrong one.

You may need to reboot several times after you run it and you may still need to uninstall the Universal Serial Controller devices in Device Manager.
