I have the following mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135151
It clearly states that I have 4 USB 2.0 slots.
However, when I connect something that requires USB 2.0 it gives me a warning that says it’s connected to a USB 1.1 port and that it probably won’t work. So what the heck is going on?
Background: I have Windows XP Pro with SP2. I checked my bios, and USB2.0 Support was enabled with the EHCI controller, and there were some more options regarding whether or not I wanted the USB to use a PCI bus or some other thing (started with an e). I have no idea what these meant so I left them be.

Latest drivers were already installed with XP SP2
right check in system propeties that the USB 2 root hub is in XP, USB devices are usually at bottom of list, if it is there (probably not) then in theory it should work

Have you actually tried to install those drivers? Remember that Windows XP is legacy software - it’s 5 years old. I doubt it has the latest of anything now.
Ignore Windows if it tells you that ‘it has the latest drivers’. Literally force those drivers to install!
I found my problem!
It turns out I didnt have the PCI to USB enhanced controller drivers installed. So I installed them and I’m on my merry way
