Re: HP 530 USB ports

Let me add that I have installed XP on a decent number of systems with an Intel
945 chipset. Never a USB problem, so the cause is either faulty hardware or
faulty drivers. That's why I thought in terms of drivers for the 945 chipset.

The exact model is HP 530; this is written on the case and is the only
designation that Google recognises. I stipulated to the store that
the computer I bought must have Windows XP because the driver for one
of my cameras (a Canon Model SD 430) would not operate under Vista.

All drivers on the machine work correctly. It is only the USB ports
that show errors. I can live with these errors, but I am hoping there
is an easy solution.

What is the EXACT model of the system? Did you install drivers for the
motherboard chipset? This has to be done first thing after installing a Windows
operating system, so that drivers for everything else can be installed and
operate properly. if the system has an Intel CPU, it undoubtedly has an Intel
chipset, for which drivers are readily available at the Intel web site, if
nowhere else... Ben Myers

It is hard to tell if this problem is hardware or software.

I have a program that will not operate under Windows Vista, which is
the OS preinstalled on the HP 530. I downgraded the OS to Windows XP,
Service Pack 2. Strange things began happening; for example, my
camera was considered a disk drive and card readers are not
recognised.

Errors are confined to the USB ports. A search of Google reveals
many people had problems with the USB ports after they downgraded
to XP. No suggestions for correcting the problem could be found.

Does anyone here have a magic bullet? I do not expect HP to solve
this problem because HP never sold this computer with XP.
