    Hi all,

    I just bought a Dell Studio 1537 and have managed to get all the xp x64 drivers xcept for the 1394 adapter and some "unknown device" under the "other devices" section in device manager. My problem is that apparently I have no USB drivers either. I have searched the internet but have found noone with this same issue. I have gotten the latest chipset drivers from intel but, that didn't help.

    Device manager says I have 8 USB Root Hubs (although I only have 3 physical ones) and they all have the dreaded yellow exclamtion mark. I've tried almost everything. I can't plug anything into my USB ports because my system won't recongnize it. Can anyone help?

    Thanks
