 Lost USB 2.0 - Dave
When my little netbook came back from the repairers last year, they just did a new install of XP home. The problem is I now only have USB 1.0 and not the 2.0 I had previously. As a result I get a warning whenever anything is plugged in to say it could run faster with 2.0.

Is there a way to get back the high speed?

May be a missing driver - try the manufacturer's website (just had a similar problem with USB3 on a laptop)

Lancara is probably right.

Assuming you are plugging directly into the machine.

if you are using an extension cable or USB hub which could be USB 1.

Might be a down level version of XP, USB 2 only came in with SP1 I think. Are you allwoing updates on it? it might update itself.

As Zero suggests, you may need a later service pack. Full installation of SP3 is available here: www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24

Thanks guys. I had turned updates off as I only had a 56K connection and it would spend all day every day trying to download updates. But I've got 3G now, so turned it back on and did a huge update, and everything's working as it should.

Zero was right!!

Oh for crissakes!. If you ever want to get more help, or be welcome around here, or even spoken to in public, then you will take that back immediately.

Some of us have to cope with him on a daily basis you know.
