You need to install the chipset drivers for your motherboard. These should be on the Resource CD that came with your computer.

To answer stegve"s question, I am refering to the Universal Bus Controllers, in responce to volcano's reply I down-loaded this file twice and it's still says to redownload I guess I need to try and download the SP1 1st.340

Here's the file for the chipset drivers:
Normally the chipset drivers should be the first drivers installed after a reinstallation of Windows. In order to get USB to work, you may also need to update to SP1 from the Microsoft Update site.

You keep saying that you downloaded the drivers, but you don't say whether you have installed them. Simply downloading the chipset drivers drivers will do nothing. You have to install them. Again, the chipset drivers usually must be the first drivers installed after reinstallation of Windows. Anything built into the motherboard, like USB ports, will not work until the chipset drivers are installed.
