i am having intel 101GGC motherboard. recently my usb ports started troubling me, now all the six usb ports on my workstation does not work. when i open the Device manager and then the universal serial bus controller, there is an exclamation mark on the "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB host controller". i tried reinstalling, disabling, the driver and also installing a fresh copy of XP but for no good. i tried searching for Standard Enhanced PCI to USB host controller but could not find any match. my motherboard is USB 2.0 capable.

If you did a fresh install of XP the first thing you should install is the chipset drivers that came with your motherboard. You can also probably get them from their website.

Although, it sounds like it could be a hardware issue. May be time to just get a new motherboard.

Always save the CD or floppies that come with motherboard, if you do a complete re-install will need them. If you are going to go to the website and get the latest drivers, look for any bios update. Sometimes these cure lots of problems.

If it is a hardware problem, try buying a PCI USB 2.0 card, they are not expensive and come with their own drivers.
