Usb Host Controller Problems
I have a Dimension 8300 from a few years back. Recently I had to wipe my HD and reinstall windows, however, I'd lost the Dell windows disk which came with the computer, and consequently, lost most of the drivers I need. I've managed to get most back (video card, sound card etc.) from the various Manufacturer's websites, however, the drivers for my USB host controller I can't get, as it's a Dell brand. I've checked all over the site, and can't find anything. So I figured I'd ask on the forums, as everyone seems generally helpful. It's stopping my usb devices from working properly.
Any help is much appreciated.

Most of the devices really need Dell supplied drivers to either work correctly or have full functionality.
The Dell "chipset" drivers need to be installed. Most everything except the OS and some applications usually are available for download. Click on Desktops then Dimension and then follow the on-screen prompts to get the drivers (use your Service Tag number).

By now, most manufacturers/publishers should have fixed faultily programmed applications that don't work with SP2 - check with the publishers for updates. There is no excuse for programs written without regard for the extra security measures in SP2 by now.
