A help desk once suggested to uninstall all the USB devices/controllers and
reboot - under the theory that sometimes USB/WinXP 'gets confused'. It
didn't solve the issue I was working on, but I've seen others refer to it.

FWIW, my understanding is the entry "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host
Controller" is what enables USB 2.0. So, with it showing in your Device
Manager, it 'should' work.

Just to confirm, there aren't any yellow or red marks in your Device
Manager?
