I got the PCI communcation controller working. Now just need the yellow ? mark by the USB controller. I used my mouse/keyboard on his computer which is USB. Dunno anythoughts?

here is the spec's.

If USB is working the only issue is probably in the BIOS level.

XP is loading its own USB drivers. If USB keyboard/mouse work in the boot and BIOS you should be fine.

I saw the specs but the motherboard is not identified. If you want to run CPU_Z we might be able to trace down the motherboard drivers.

Tell how to run that program and I will be more then happy to.

Just Save it somewhere. I use My Documents in a folder I call Tools.

Anyway Save it then unzip it and run it that is all.

Great software btw, so, I installed that on his computer and here is what the results were:

micro
MS-7184-Model
Chipset-ATI express200(RS480) Rev.10

Does that help?

MSI does not have drivers as that is a board they sell to other manufacturers.

This is the closest they have for themselves:

ATI System Drivers for RS690/RD780/RD790/RX780/RX780/RS740/SB600

I see that HP/Compaq uses that same motherboard:

I see no USB drivers.

Thanks, go figure. Well, I know that USB ports do work because I used my keyboard/mouse when I was working on it. Hopefully, he will be okay.

There are some mysteries in these boxes.

I have a yellow "System Interrupt Controller" that I have never been able to find anything about.

lol....well, everything working on his computer so I will let it at that. Thanks Jephree
