Ok, I've worked some more on the problem. I went to the Asus website and found the downloads for my mobo, but didn't see anything with the description of "chipset drivers". I did find that on the install disk that I have, but I had already installed those. I went to Intel's website and found drivers for my chipset, installed those, and nothing changed. Finally last night I reformatted/reinstalled Windows XP again and now I'm back where I started from. I also have gone into Device Manager and uninstalled the drivers for my USB ports, did a hardware change scan, and then reinstalled with no difference, still no use.
The weird thing is, and I don't understand this, is that I took one of my wireless mice (or is it mouse's when talking about computers? lol) and plugged in the USB dongle, and in one of the USB ports the LED on the dongle lit up and remained lit. But only in one of the ports, and Windows didn't load it. And I'm plugging everything into the ports attached directly to the mobo, not any on the front or top of the case.
So in review, am I looking for "chipset drivers" or BIOS drivers when I go to Asus' website? I even called them and the guy I talked to told me to do this and that but I couldn't find what he was talking about when I went back to my computer. I think I might try them again later today (if they're open) or tomorrow night maybe. Thanks for any help that's out there, have a great day!
Oh, and to add to my predicament, I'm being forced to use an oldddddd Dell two button mouse, no scroll wheel, and certainly not optical! Help me please!
