That's all the info I have. Also, does anyone have any stats on onbaord usb's going bad, 'cause my usb ports up and stopped working a while ago and I think it might be the bios, but in the meantime I assumed it was just that they finally went bad, the motherboard and system is quite old.

ECS no longer lists any BIOS for that board:

Is the USB the only problem?

I cannot find any SIS chipset drivers. Only for specifics such as audio and graphics.

2001 is fairly ancient.

TH USB is the main problem, Few other quirks I'd like to fix, but I jsut figured since I updated evreything else, the Bios might be worth a shot.
It's a pretty old beast, it's my abomination until I can scrounge up some money for a custom build. It's just old parts I found from friends and things like that.

Hrm, Guess i'm pretty much at a loss here then, huh?

I miss my USB. I thought maybe It might be a bios option or something, But I don't want to toggle anything I'm not sure on. Think they just went bad?

There is not much "damage" you can do in the BIOS settings.

There is always the "Default" option and in a worse case scenario there is always clearing the CMOS.

See if there are any USB or Plug & Play options.

What OS are you using?

If all the ports are not working it could be either the hardware or just a setting. XP usually loads its own USB drivers.

XP PRO, THey stopped working whe I was using XP Home, I switched recently.
I'll fiddle around and see what turns up.

Check your Device Manager for USB Controllers.

Right click My Computer then click Manage then Device Manager.

Got em.

em? erm?

You mean it's working? Or are they just there in the Device Manager?

I have the drivers in the device list, but no, they aren't working. Sorry to be vague.

If you expand the list (+) what is listed?
