USB 2.0 ports showing as 1.1?

[foxyfmu]

Hi there. I have an XP computer with SP3 installed. But I think I was having this problem before SP3. I've got several Usb 2.0 ports and they are 2.0, labelled as such on the case and also in device manager "standard enhanced PCI to USB host controller" - means it is 2.0 right? However if I plug something into the port it pops up with the message "this device can perform faster.."

Any ideas? I've seen a couple of things about re-installing the drivers would they be on the win xp cd?

thanks in advance

The drivers will be stores in the driver cache in the system folders, so don't worry about the XP CD.

The drivers may simply need a refresh, mine have done the same a few times 

Unplug all USB devices apart from Mouse and Keyboard, Otherwise you cannot do anything obviously  in which case you will want a PS/2 mouse and keyboard handy, as this requires uninstalling the USB drivers.

Simply push the start button and click Run.

type in devmgmt.msc

Once the device manager opens, at the bottom will be your USB controllers.

Uninstall them from top to bottom, by right clicking th items and selecting uninstall, you will get an error, but this is nothing to worry about, click ok for all of them.

Once all USB related drivers have been removed, reboot your machine and USB drivers will automatically reinstall, and then try your USB devices again.

Check the bios setting may be set to legacy. or usb 2 function may be disabled.
