Hello,

I have many hardware that need updating. When ever I go to device manager and try to update them, its says cannot continue to update wizard. I am really getting annoyed. I need to update my USB ports because they are not detecting anything when I plug something in. Please help.

For your USB problems, try the directions here: http://forums.whatthetech.com/How_delete_a...ems_t97497.html

I will try that now. Do you know any free software that updates orhow to fix hardware updater? thanks.

And, the drives need updating, it is not just the usb ports so idk if that will help me.

Please post the exact error message you receive when you try to update a device driver.

Also, why are you trying to update device drivers? Are you having problems? Did you just reinstall XP?

Hi,

Here are some screenshots:

Here are the drivers that need updating.

When I go to update device, then automatically update, I get this:

And no I did not just reinstall XP.

A picture is worth a thousand words for sure, thanks.

Try uninstalling each of the devices that has the yellow mark from Device Manager by right clicking on it and selecting Uninstall. Once all are done, reboot and let XP rediscover them, see if that helps.

Hey,

Thanks for replying. I'm scared if I uninstall them, my pc will not recognize them then I'll be stuck.

Here is my manufacturer's website. Maybe you could tell me which drivers I need to download to help resolve the problem.

May I ask what Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller and Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller are? Are they the actual usb ports themselves are the devices I plug into the ports?

EDIT: I think it has nothing to do with update wizard, there is a problem with my usb ports, they are not detcted and they are not installed properly. please help

Sorry, but I already told you the first thing to try, uninstall them as I directed, then reboot. XP will redetect them and reinstall the drivers. That often fixes this kind of problem. If not, then I'll point you to a program to run that will collect some information I'll need to continue.

I did that. But then they are reinstalled as the same state they were in before

I overlooked the obvious. Why do these drivers need to be installed or updated?

Did you recently reinstall XP? If so, what is the make and model number of your computer? All the necessary drivers should be available from the manufacturers web site.

If you provide the info I can help you find them.

I did not just reinstall XP. But I think they stop wroking once I upgraded to serrvice pack 3. I went to the manufacturer's site and I don't know which drivers are the ones for the usb. I have a HP Pavilion Media Center a1524n Desktop PC. My manufacturer website with drivers: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwar...product=3199072

I would go with the original drivers:
 HP_1524n_drivers.jpg ( 35.13K ) Number of downloads: 4


Specifically the Chipset (which should take care of the USB problems) and Realtek Audio. See is that takes care of the problems.

If not, you can always uninstall SP3, then decline it the next time it's offered and instead, continue to update SP2.

Hi,

I downloaded but still didn't work. I read their description and they are only compatiable with SP2. I went to Add/Remove programs and it doesn't give me an option to uninstall.

If I have to restore my computer, (this is last resource), then how do I completely clean my hard drive before I do so?

Thanks.
