JohnJInSFC, FYI - I was having the same situation on the file versions as you described above. I just downloaded the Windows XP SP3 ISO image and re-installed it (i.e. SP3), BUT, this time I unplugged my USB drives and disabled my Antivirus and antispyware (SpyBot) prior to the re-installation.

Driver Version: 5.1.1.1001: Vendor: Intel. OS version Windows* XP version 5.1 Service Pack 3 build 2600. 18060, 1, 29900, 29910, 4.

I've checked the file versions and they now appear to be correct. Now, what is left for me is to see if my problem gets fixed, which was sudden reboots while transfering large files to any of my external USB drives. Cheers, Jose Lopez. Slrr Engine Tool Moden here.

This thread saved me. All sorts of weirdness started happening when I started to back my harddisk to my USB drive.

Random reboots and then it would take the computer a day or so to slowly sort itself out. I couldn't even see the USB drive until I rebooted several times. I think I have an easier way to get the driver versions consistant, rather than locating a SP3 ISO. Note, the idea of uninstalling SP3 is a nightmare because there are several dozen or so updates on top of SP3 which might be unstable unpon SP3 uninstall. What I did was unplug all of the physical USB devices, then deleted all the USB devices shown in the Device Manager.

That included the Root Hubs, Universal Host Controllers, and the Enhanced Host Controller. You will need a PS2 mouse and/or keyboard to perform this action. Asus Hd 7970 Ghz Edition. After a Restart, the devices are found and installed with the ver 5512 USB driver.

Thanks for the info. Seems like something as common as SP3, Anti-Virus software running during the upgrade, and USB disks existing on the same computer and causing a very unstable machine would get more press and attanetion.
