My old Dell 530 running XP Pro has now suddenly started providing me with the same wonderful advice about running faster on the usb device. This thing is I don't care, I rarely use usb except for a dongle. So how do you tell Windows to keep quiet. I really don't need to be told more than once!
Posted by: John Larsen at January 15, 2008 5:50 AMGo to Control Panel --> System Properties --> Hardware --> Device Manager --> Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Under each controller right click on Properties and go to the Advanced Tab. Check the box that says Don't tell me about USB Errors. Save and close.

Posted by: George Arauz at January 17, 2008 5:57 AMI get that message at least once a week. I have counted 6 rear and 2 front usb female plugs on my computer + 2 on my monitor and 1 on my scanner/printer. The only ones in use are on the rear of my computer. I have Intel 82801EB USB2 Enhanced Host Controller 24DD shown in Device Driver. Also see 4 Standard Universal PCI to USB Host Controller's shown. One USB Composite Device and 5 USB Root Hub listings. My computer is a Dell purchased Feb 2004. Do I have both 1 and 2? Can I tell which are USB2 by sight? Thanks
Posted by: Earl Meech at January 19, 2008 8:37 AMDidnt leo omit something here? That a USB 2.0 device will slow to 1.1 speed if there are any 1.1 devices using the same root hub? So if possible one should isolate one's 2.0 devices on one hub and the 1.1's (mice,keyboard etc) on the 1.1 hubs?
Posted by: B Gold at January 19, 2008 11:22 PMI've recently purchased a new printer, a lexmark, since that time I've be getting the statement that I should purchase a 2.0 usb high speed whatever. I did that. I'm still getting the message. Did I put the plug in the wrong ports? I'm not very "techy"....just want to do the correct thing and have my printer stop making noises even when it is not turned on. Could you explain for me???? Thank you in advance.
Posted by: diane sofiakis at March 6, 2008 12:03 PMI have a HP Pavillion running Vista. It has 4 USB 2.0 ports. I have a 4 port USB 2.0 hub. I have 2 printers an externalHDD and a Sandisk flash drive plugged into the hub. I still get this message and I've swapped all the devices into the avaoilable computer ports directly. What's the problem?
Posted by: Steve Hughes at March 19, 2008 9:00 AMI have USB 2.0 ports, and I am sure of it by looking at their description under Control Panel. But the transfer rate is not at the speed it's suppose to be. Can the cable used to connect the USB port and the device be a factor? Is there such a thing as 1.1 vs 2.0 cable?

No, there's not really such a things as a USB cable, though
of course cable quality in general can always play a role.
Typically when speeds aren't what I expect it's because the
device itself is at issue, or occasionally the USB
interface.

I have high-speed USB ports and still get the message, and when i go to my device manager and click on the properties for USB, there IS no advanced tab, only general. I've looked ALL OVER THE INTERNET for a solution to stop this popup but whenever someone mentions the same problem as me, NO ONE REPLIES, do you have a solution?? Thanks!
