I, too have encountered this very same problem while "fixing" a friend's computer (Dimension 2400). Here it is 2010 and DELL still has not included it into the 2400 driver listings. :emotion-9:
As stated above, even after installing SP2 & SP3, it still kept coming up with driver for "USB Controller" not found. You will find "R79695.exe" at "FTP.DELL.COM" under the directory "CHIPSET". Scroll down toward the bottom of that page and you will find it. Click on it and save it to your computer, then click on it to extract, then install it. :emotion-21:
I still prefer a Distribution Disc. You're "TOAST" when (not if) your HD dies on you. For some reason (probably costs), DELL isn't being that considerate to customers. Mounting it "inside" the cabinet would be even better so you can find it years later when you are replacing the HD. :emotion-2:

It was probably not included in the support list as it is not a universal problem. I have had 3 Dimension 2400's under my care for about seven years and have not one time encountered this problem. The original installation CD that was sent with the Dimension 2400 was Windows XP with SP-1a. The Resource CD with the drivers and utilities included a supplemental driver for USB 2.0 for that particular service pack, but the file number doesn't match the one given in this thread so I don't know if it was an earlier version of the file. If I try to load this file into my Dimension 2400 now, it is refused as my installation has been updated to SP-3; I forgot to do the install before performing the update but that doesn't seem to have hurt anything.
It would be interesting to know what conditions are necessary to encounter this error, but I rather suspect that the Dimension 2400 will be history before much longer.

The Dimension 2400 comes with a single core 2.4GHz Intel CPU, supports up to 2GB of memory (this one has 512MB). Even with the old 40GB disk (setting set to Bypass or Performance), it runs rather quickly. I'd be curious to see what it would do with a faster disk.
The computer I have just restored did not have an original Installation Disk with it, only the Resource CD. The Resource CD did NOT have the correct driver for the USB Controller, even though it contained a chipset driver, the XP distribution I had also did NOT have it, and Microsoft Updates did not provide it.
I had no problems installing the driver I downloaded from the FTP site.
No, it;s not a GAMER's Computer. Personally, for the average adult browsing the Internet, I can see these being around for awhile, possibly with a faster disk and memory upgrades ......

If the diagnostic lights on the rear of the computer are all green you can try correcting the USB driver by going to the device manager and uninstalling the USB controllers. Once you restart the computer, Windows should find the USB ports and reload the drivers for them.
The USB drivers are a part of Windows, there is no separate driver download for them. Provided you have Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3 installed, you also have the necessary drivers for the USB ports.
