usb ports not working

[jeff9353]

I used my printer and ipod the other day and everything was fine. When I hooked up my ipod to download my podcast I notice it wasn't reconizing it. So I tryed another port.to no avail. Went to divice manage and all 5 usb port showed faing with the yellow !.. tryed to to update and this is what I get. Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) I running WinXP Media center Edition..version 202..service pack 3

Re-install your MBoard chipset Drivers with the USB hub disconnected...
Do a few reboots after.
Then reconnect

Here are your drivers! (click)

See 'Original Drivers' and then 'Fall 2006 Original Intel Chipset Drivers'.

Here is a direct link (Right-Click, Save As) if you want it easy. =P

Click on that name. A new window with all information about it appears.
Click on 'Download', a new window pops up saying 'sp26800.exe'.
Click 'Save File'.

Run the .exe from where you put it, to install it.

Then do a few reboots like patio said.

Done!

Won't let me download..heres what it says:

Internet Explorer cannot DL because SP 26800.exe from ftp. The site was not found. Make sure the address is correct and try again. Thanks for helping

It seems you have to wait a few seconds before clicking 'save file'.
Since I'm a friendly guy, I put your file directly on an internet space I have.

Download it here (right click, save as).

Thanks I'm dl it right now. I'll get back to you and see if it works thanks a

Treval, dl and installed. reboot comp. and went to device manager and all usb ports still in yellow. Anything else I can try.

[Treval]

Device Manager -> USB -> Usb Root Hub -> Right Click -> Update Driver -> Automatic

Reinstall all USB root hubs.

Tryed what you said..Says there may be a hardware problem or software needs install. won't do nothing. I don't know if this has anything to do with this. I went to uninstall a  program before all of this happened, control panel> add & remove> and it won't let me remove anything if I wanted to...It don't even give me the option. It show all programs but no remove option.Have to go do some work..check back after a while. Thanks again everyone....

You could try this:
Manually uninstall through registry
