I have an Asus clone with a A7NZ66-VM motherboard. I have XP loaded but it
does not seem to support the USB ports (or the onboard audio). I have
searched high and low but cannot find drivers that might work. I have no
s/w that may have come with the MB but the USB ports were working under XP
until I reformated the HD and reinstalled XP.

Could anyone kindly direct me to a source of such drivers (the USB driver(s)
in particular) or offer any other advice.

TIA

This motherboard uses nVidia's nForce 220D chipset.

Windows XP unified drivers may be obtained from nVidia, here:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_udp_winxp_5.10.html

The Installation Notes say "Windows XP users must install Service Pack 1, at
a minimum, prior to attempting to install this package. Failure to do so
will result in the inability to support USB 2.0."

Homer J:

I have installed and run the unified drivers .exe as you recommended but the
USB port(s) are still without a driver. Device manager tells me it still
cannot find a driver for "USB - Serial Controller D".

There are other drivers available on the nVidia web site but I can't tell if
they would be applicable (nForce 220D is not included in the driver
selection list). BTW, the nVidia chip in my machine has "nForce MCP-D"
written on the chip.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated..........

The following is a link to ASUS' driver for the A7N266-VM for Win2K /
WinXP:

http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socka/nforce220/a7n266-vm/245.zip

It is a 25.54MB download. The Description for this driver is:

A7N266-VM Inf, VGA, Audio, LAN combined driver V 2.45 for Win2000 and WinXP.
nVidia provided and combined it with Inf, VGA, Audio, LAN driver.

It looks like it was the last driver posted by ASUS, October 9, 2003, for
this motherboard since there doesn't appear to be anything more recent.

Homer:

Have located the source of the problem. I was trying to install a GPS
receiver (in a USB port) which, it turns out, seems to require its own
specific driver as I finally located it on some accompanying software MS
Streets & Trips.

In any case, thanks for your assistance...........
