By the way, username DellCA, are you working for Dell? Running on a XPS M1710 still got problem with one thing, the Device Manager still got question mark for the SM Bus Controller, and tells me it can't install the Hardware? I've tried to install the driver on the CD from Dell but with no luck. Could you please tell me if it's possible to install the driver for the chipset with another revision?
That definitely points to the problem being something with the chipset software and not the USB port itself. Mort-1, which version (or filename) did you install?

If you check on the Dell support website (http://support.dell.com) you can pull up the latest drivers for your system. When looking at an individual driver there is a link for "Other Versions" right below the "Download Now" link. From that you can pick from the list of previous versions that the website had available (they only rarely get removed completely, as even ones that add problems don't add them for everyone, and they are usually not critical).

And yes, I am part of a relatively new team here at Dell that checks the internet for people having problems with Dell computers.
