I have a hp pavilion dv 4 series laptop. The problem is that it has only 2 usb port. So i bought a multiple usb port device.When i am using it, i keep getting a message that ur device can work faster if it is put into a usb 2.0 port. From the device manager i figured out that my laptop has a usb 2.0 port( coz i saw enhanced on that). But i don't know how to activate that 2.0 port for my device. Please help.

Hi Leo, I read your article on upgrading to a usb 2. Great info. I have an older thinkpad R40e and running xp on it. The usb's are 1.1 and I wanted to put in a pcmcia card 2.0 and use it for tethering with easy tether. Some people have told me it will run much faster for tethering and others have told me it will run the same because of the speed it is coming thru from the carrier on the cell. I am getting a 1.52 mbps and was wondering if the USB 2.0 would increase the speed majorly. Great Site!!! Thanks in advance for your help. Rob

I bought a Logitech C160 webcam. I get an error message saying that cam would run faster if plugged into a 2.0 port. The cam should run on a 1.1 but does not. Do I need to upgrade to a 2.0 or not? The cam does not show video while using Skype, is this problem a lower USB 1.1 or is it something else. I get an error message saying DirectX is not installed, but it is. Could problem be caused by a 1.1 port?

DirectX and USB are pretty much unrelated. Not sure why you're getting a directx not installed message, or what program you're getting it from. Does your computer have USB 2.0 ports? If not, you may need to upgrade.

My computer is Compaq Presario SG3053IL. The product website says my computer has USB 2.0, but I keep getting "your device can work faster..." message and in the device driver page, I do not see "enhanced...." mentioned under USB. I bought a PCI USB card and tried it and I get a yellow "?" icon on the device driver page. The plug and play does not seem to work here. Please help me. Thanks Leo.

i have used a pcncia to usb 2.0 card to upgrade my usb 1.1 to 2.0 but whenever i try to install it the windows gets hang or freezes, after many trails i have install it but it can't be started and error massage shows that due to non avaibility of resources this device can nt be started
please help

Typically that's a driver issue - I'd contact the manufacturer of the card to see if they have updated drivers or can suggest a solution.

How critical is the availability of standard Enhanced PCI to USB host controller on the mother board? I have an Intel Monterrey Motherboard 1.4ghz R0 running XP professional but it does not show enhanced capability, so what do I need to do to upgrade to 2.0 USB?

Hi. My newer EMachine claims to have 6 2.0 usb ports. Device manager reads "enhanced", or should I say one line reads enhanced pci, the other standard hcd. The problem is my usb760 modem is a speed demon if using the back ports, while speeds are halved while using the 2 front ports(speedtest.net confirms this over and over.). My Toshiba pen drive seems to work just as fast in either the front or back. The guy at the computer store, and various other sources, assure me there is no physical difference between 1.1 and 2.0; that it is all in the drivers. I noticed you state the hardware is different. Is there a physical difference? If so, what is it please? If I find the guy at the computer store is jerking me around...I WILL punch him in the nose! Well, maybe I'll just give him a verbal chastising, and set him straight. Thanks in advance.

I have a Dell Dimension 2400. Will any of the USB2 cards with a PCI interface work or do I need to look for some other specifications?

*Motherboards* are neither USB 1.0 or 2.0, they're just
motherboards. An add-in card attaches to a highspeed buss on
the motherboard and should support 2.0 speeds just fine.

Thanks for your web help. I'm still not convinced (per an old magz article) that a usb1.1 motherboard will/can process/handle data any faster. Is it not the case that the card will only ensure COMPATIBILITY with usb2.0 device attachments? Regards.

It makes zero sense to me. SP2 should support everything SP1
does and more, and with more security and bug fixes.

Recent helped a friend with very sick Dell Dimension 2400. Had to format hd and install XP Pro and SP2. However, after talking to Dell tech support (via India) they tell me that shouldn't installed SP2 because the Mass storage device, mulitmedia devive and USB 2 need SP1. I will need to reformat the HD and install SP1-whats' up with that? Those that make sense to you? Do you have any recommendations?
