    Intel ICH9 Family USB
    Developer: Microsoft
    Driver date: 21/06/2006
    Version: 6.0.6001.18000

    That's about as much as I can tell you about the drivers. Try some drivers updating/searching software as well. Windows Update might work too.

    Mine are ICH8. I restarted and it automatically installed for me. But it doesnt solve the problem of how it intermittantly works. Im noticed under advanced, theres like bandwith and stuff. DOes any1 know how i might be able to raise the level of power going to the port. I heard sagers had voltage problems in the past with USB ports. My brothers did. I feel like that could be it.
    each port has 10% system reserved, and the MX510 mouse apparently takes 1% or 98 mA
