I have an m767v from pcchips with a VIA BX-Too 100 chipset. I am having trouble finding drivers for the USB ports. I am running Windows 2000. I cannot use my USB at all and in the Device Manager it says that I have an unsupported VIA USB Universal Host Controller.

I also have a C-Media (CM8330) sound card and was able to find and load the drivers but for some reason the C-Media CM8330 C3D/ Audio Adapter didn't load.

I went to the VIA web page and the pcchips webpage but wasn't able to find what I was looking for. Maybe I wasn't looking in the right place.

I was also thinking of upgrading the BIOS because I don't have ACPM but wasn't sure if there was an upgrade available or how to check my computer tosee if I can get an upgrade. [there are some sites that will run a test to see if the BIOS needs upgrading but my computer isn't connected to the internet]

Go Windows XP and in 95% of cases XP will load drivers from it's vast generic files. Martin Just trying to help, sometimes falling short, I am only human after all.
 
...it's cheaper to replace that PC Chips motherboard than it is to buy Windows XP, and then you'd be getting a board that will actually function the way it is meant to!

But more towards your specific concerns, have you tried via's 4in1 driver set? It's my understanding that that file contains drivers for all via chipsets.
 
I have seen the VIA 4-in-1 driver set. I could not, however, seem to find one for the BX-Too 100.

I got the USB to work by clicking on update driver in the device manager and choosing from the list of compatible drivers as opposed to letting windows do it for me. That did work. Microsoft Works - The Ultimate Oxymoron

It seems that the BX-Too 100 also goes by another name the appollo - somenthing or other. I haven't yet found out exactly what, and it really doesn't say it anywhere straight out. Microsoft Works - The Ultimate Oxymoron

Ive come across something like that recently, it turned out to be a resource issue. Conflicting IRQs. It was the darndest thing too - I removed the sound card from the device manager, re-loaded the drivers, and the hub was OK - after a reboot, the sound card picked up and worked fine too...

I don't know if that will work in this case.

Have you tried
 
I have had the same problem with a PC Chips board previous not the same model I might add. When I reinstalled windows I had to turn off the usb in the BIOS first load windows, video,sound first. The last thing to be done was to enable the USB again once everything was installed or it would not work (conflicts). PC Chips are quirky about things like that. Earlier motherboards are poor quality in my mind. If your unsure....Dont do it!
 
Tyro -- Apollo is the name of one of VIA's chipsets for pentium machines.
