USB 2.0 drivers without Service Pack crap

Hi everybody.

I am running Windows XP on an Asus A8N5X motherboard.
Does anyone know if there's a way to get the USB 2.0 ports to work
without having to install that Service Pack crap? )

Ciao,

The cd that the motherboard came with has the driver. I imagine Asus has them
online as well.

Ciao Sittingduck, thanks for your help but...

I had already searched the web with Google and the situation *seems*
clear. Asus installation cd does not include any USB 2.0 driver.
During the installation I get a message: "You need Microsoft Service
Pack 1blabla....". But why the hell?!? ) I DO NOT WANT to install
the entire Service Pack crap (300 megs) for a tiny USB 2.0 driver!
Isn't there any way out?

Ciao,
Franco

Exactly what is crap about the Service packs, since other than the SP2

firewall installation, most of the rest are legitimate security fixes,
driver updates ( Inc. USB 2.0) and bug fixes ? And you can disable the
Windows firewall in the UI. Plus, if you are on dialup only, afaik you
can still freely order an update CD from M$$ which contains the bulk
of the updates -- search their website. I have one of those CDs.

Unless, of course, you really don't want to have to deal with the
validation check now required to download the updates.....

Hai ragione: ho la tua stessa MB e all'installazione dei driver usb2 rimanda
a SPack di Windows...
Volevo chiederti se hai provato a far gestire da un ampli dolby digital il
segnale audio in uscita dalle porte coax e opti della MB? si riesce ad
ottenere un segnale dolby digital su queste uscite? Nonostante tutti i
tentativi fatti il segnale che a me viene fuori è solo stereo.
Ciao. Faccio

You can probe with the ASUS drivers of an other Asus MB. Write me if you
need those drivers.

My system runs smoothly and I need only the USB 2.0 drivers.
I cannot conceive that I have to download and install a 200+ meg
package for this purpose. And of course I'm running on a dialup 56k
modem (there's no broad band service in my town), but this is not the
main point of the question.
Why does M$ forbid the motherboard manufacturers to include a simple
USB 2.0 driver in their installation packages/home pages?!?!?!

Sorry, never tried so far....
Maybe if you repost your message in English someone else can solve
your problem.
