But with XP go into the Computer Control Panel by opening the Control Panel clicking on Administrative Tools and then Computer Management and when the next Window opens select Devices and see if there are any yellow circles with a black mark through them.

If there are you'll need your M'Board CD in an optical drive and then right click on the device and chose Update Driver. That should bring things up and running if the USB Drivers are missing. After you get them working run Windows Live Update just to make sure that you have the latest drivers available.
