A7N8X-DX Problems,has anyone else had any of these?

Ok,im having some problems with my board.I'm trying to find out if its the board or not.

1.My logitech(internet navigator)keyboard driver(i-Touch),when installed wont let windows shutdown,unless I exit i-Touch first.

2.Sometimes my keyboard just stops working,especially when trying to flash BIOS from DOS.

3.Under device manager,I have ! by one of my motherboard resources.I can uninstall it,and reboot which fixes it only temporarily.Untill a few boots later then it comes back.It also comes back when I add a USB device.


Here is what the error says:"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because there is a duplicate device already running in the system. (Code 42)"


If anyone knows of any solutions please let me know.
Thanks

Well it's clearly related to the keyboard - and most likely a software/driver issue is my guess. I know Logitech usb mice have some issues under windows 2000, with very specific software fixes. Have you searched their site thoroughly for issues with your keyboard?

Ya I looked nothing there.I guess maybe I'll try my Playstation 2 keyboard see what it does,but when I plugged my logitech in with the ps2 adapter it did the same thing.

Nope same thing any USB keyboard seems like.Ive tried everything,everytime I plug in a USB keyboard it loads up 3 motherboard resources(one of which has the ! beside it).Along with 3 or more HID compliant devices.I'm beginning to wonder if the ports arent just messed up....


:Edit:I just restarted and it didnt recignize the logitech again.Thank god xp has onscreen keyboard lol.I even tried disconnecting all USB devices except keyboard,didnt work either.

Well since nobody knows I guess I'll RMA it,cause I dont want to take a chance of these USB ports deciding to die somewhere down the road.

I have the same problems.
It is related to the USB on the A7N8X.
I have seen the same problems on another forum.
My Logitech itouch did the same thing with shutdown.
I just don't use the software.
I went to using the p/s 2 converters for my mouse and keyboard and don't have problems. I don't know if a bios will fix the problem or not.
You also get away from the ! in the device manager with the converters.
USB has never been working 100% and I don't think it ever will. On any board.
The advances in technology are great but I would think after several years people would get USB right.
I think Microsoft was on something when they didn't support USB 2.0 at first. Why supprt something that doesn't work.

Ok,I switched to the converter's for my logitech mouse and keyboard.Also I disabled my USB and the ! went away.So if I were to get a USB PCI 2.0 Card to run my other acc. would that cause any error's?



:Edit:Nevermind I re-enabled them and just put my controller and printer on them.Works fine,it seems its the combination of my Logitech optical mouse and Logitech keyboard.

From what I have read it seems it is just the keyboard (any USB keyboard) that does it. Not sure though.
I have read that if you put in a USB card from another company it works fine and all items attached to it work. Not sure about the itouch shutdown problem.

Well Logitech sent me a "Clean install instruction" which worked window's would shutdown,but the multimedia keys didnt work.So I installed just the driver for those(from the i-touch directory),it went right back to not shutting down.
