I've got this message on an "old" computer I had and for me, it was related
to some USBports was 1.1 and some was 2.0. For the most, you can check in
the motherboard manual about these kind of things. Another thing is, if an
USB port have found a driver for its use, it's often locked for only that
driver. In other words, if you're trying to use Traveldrive and the camera
on the same USB port but at different times, often I have seen the USB port
will only find the first used thing on that port.

Hey guys,
I have an older USB 1.1 comp (PIII) that I bought a new
PCI - USB 2.0 card for. Will it ever perform at the 2.0
standard in this older comp? Will I need to download
drivers to allow 2.0 speed? No drivers came with it.
It's a Rosewill RC 103 5 port card.

Whadaya think?

Aaahhhh! The turmoil of USB in XP. This was one of the features in XP that
Microsoft really hosed up! Most devices tell you drivers are included in
XP for this device... yeah right! There is no way to tell if your port is
1.1 or 2.0 unless you have a motherboard manual or you can check the manufacture's
website (like Dell). I have a Dell 8200 notebook I got cheap off of ebay...
I upgraded the memory, harddrive and was planning to use this as a mobile
recorder... I had a external notebook USB harddrive for large programs...
to make a longer story short (and after tearing out 3lbs of my hair), I checked
the Dell website and the internal USB port is only 1.1. My external drive
enclosure was 2.0. I seen in the device manager that it was recognizing
the USB device, but eventually would error. I later purchased a PCMCIA USB/Firewire
card and presto! I worked! If you do have a 2.0 port and it is still erroring
in the device manager, try uninstalling USB devices, reboot and see if it
works... as someone said, windows tries to use the same USB driver on the
last thing that was plugged into that port. Another stupid Microsoft wizardy
crap here! But there is no easy way to check if the port is 1.1 or 2.0...
however, there is a device you can purchase that will do this...
http://www.passmark.com/products/usb2loopback.htm
Hope this helps...

No it won't! It will just error in the device manager... you won't know
it unless you open the device manager... XP does not tell you why it error'd,
because it doesn't know. Also, it could be a 2.0 USB but still error (like
with the 2.0 external USB notebook drives)... you have to sometimes uninstall
other USB devices and hubs and let windows re-install them... see above!
