USB drivers needed

hey guys,

i just got my computer formatted a few days ago and it seems my USB has a "?" next to it over at device manager.. you can see my specs in my sig, i installed the latest nforce drivers and i didnt see any USB drivers there but i selected em all and thats the only thing with a question mark, im not sure if they'll work or they wont but i prefer installing drivers so itll be usb 2.0 aswell (just pointing out my win xp cd isn't SP1 so i installed SP1 yesterday and it didnt fix the problem, but i think it'll support USB 2.0 now)
another thing, i have an hp deskjet 5150, does it need the driver install disk or will it automatically install its drivers once i get the USB drivers again and plug the printer in a usb slot ?

Thanks.

You'll need the printer drivers for sure.

Have you tried deleting all of the USB Root Hub devices from Device Manager and rebooting? Sometimes that works.
