I freshly re-installed my window xp home edition. Unfortunately, can't get my USB to work at 2.0 speed. all of them at USB1.0 speed now. My XP is SP3 and frequently updated. I've tried to update USB driver through Device Manager but still does not solve the problem. Now, the file transfers take hours.
I have a Epson RX500 printer and i keep getting a pop up box telling me this device will perform faster if i connect it to one of the available usb2 ports but it says click here to see all available ports which it shows as all being empty even though other devices are plugged into them.
Two years ago I bought and installed a USB2 Card on my PC (Windows XP with SP2). Last week when I bought a new Printer (Canon MP 750), which uses USB2. When I connected, IT WOULD NOT WORK; but when I connected to a USB 1, IT WORKED, albeit with a message that"IT WOULD WORK FASTER WITH USB2" and inviting me to "clickhere" to find a suitable Port. I did this, of course, but was met with a message that"NO HI-SPEED USB HOST CONTROLLERS ARE INSTALLED ON THIS COMPUTER".
I pluged in usb hub into computer, and everything was fine until 2 days ago. suddenly i get message that usb could preform better if pluged into USB 2.0 port.i tried everything and nothing happened. i tested usb hard drive plugged into hub, and it was very slow. when i pluged usb hard into computer it was normal.then i was mad and destroyed the hub. i bought new one. and same thing.
My PC had 6 USB1 ports - I upgraded by adding a 2-port USB2 card, with a USB2 4 port hub. When I had XP Home, all was fine. I then crashed my hdd, so bit the bullet, got a new drive, and XP Pro and started again. The (Via) USB2 card was bought new, as was the 4 port hub - I have the driver CD for the card. According to System Manager, everything's fine, working correctly. But every time I try to use my USB2 memory stick in one of the 4 ports on the hub, it comes up with "This would work faster with USB2 - put it in one of the 4 unused ports", which is unmitigated b/s as it's already IN one of them - changing makes no difference.
I was having a lot of troubles with XP PRO after a CPU failure, when I tried to do an XP installation Repair. It failed miserably and after a month of posting and searching for answers, I threw in the towel. I reformatted the HD and did a clean install. On the advice of a MS Tech, I downloaded SP3 and installed it first thing. After I got everything up and running with all the updates, I discovered that XP no longer recognizes my USB ports as USB2. I found some original drivers on the Motherboard installation disk, but it will not allow me to install them because my XP SP2 install disk is already supposed to have them. I tried removing all the USB drivers and forcing XP to figure it out, but no luck. It is an ASUS P5GD2 Deluxe with a P4 processer and an XP PRO SP3 Operating System.
I'm connecting my iphone to usb and get the "this device can perform faster...." message telling me to disconnect from the current port and connect to a hi speed port I know which is hi speed port, but cant figure out how to disconnect and then reconnect it
I am using a DSL connection with a maximum download speed of upto 2MBPS but i usually recieve it for about 1-1.5MBPS. I have tried using Download Accelerator softwares to increase my speed but wuth those some spam also come into my computer so i am not using it anymore. Is there any way by which i can increase my internet speed by doing some changes in Windows internally. Also while using sharing sites my speed tends to fall to about 45KBPS.
I've recently reinstalled XP on my PC using the recovery CD that came with it but I've noticed that the USB Host Controllers seem to indicate I only have USB1 and not USB2 like I had pre-reinstall. I've tried my hardest to locate them to no avail but stumbled across this which is for my particular PC but I am having a dumb moment and don't know how to revert to MS drivers. It's XP Home with SP3 installed.
I run a system with win xp home and usb1 ports. I want to install a pci card with usb2 ports to use with my new printer. I would like to know what will happened with my usb1 ports after I installed usb2 ports.Will I have both type of ports available in the same time?

I have been trying to speed up my computer. I've defraged, scanned, deleted unnecessary files, etc. I have Windows XP. Here is my hijack this log if that is of use. I would appreciate any help. Most programs seem to be running faster - but IE is still sluggish.
Is there a way in XP, or in BIOS on a computer running XP, to check the actual FSB speed? Is it indicated in BIOS? I have a vague memory of checking it once but I can't remember if I checked it on the machine or just read the number in the manual.
If BIOS, or another source on the machine, tells you an FSB speed, is that the actual current clocked speed, or is that some kind of factory standard number that the MoBo provides as a spec?
I'm having some confusion as to what my actual FSB speed is. The manual says it's 400 on some Dimension 2400 machines but 266 on mine, but I swear I read XP or BIOS telling me it was 400. If there's a way to check directly I'd like to do that.
I have a DELL Precision 360 PC with 2 Hard Drives of 500GB, three CD/DVD Drives and 3GB of RAM. My processor is Intel(R) Pentium (R) 4 CPU 3.00 GHz and four 21" Monitors. I have Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3. Two Graphic cards: GeForce 7300GS and GeForce 6200..My question is: which are the top tips, the best tips to speed the system up?
I have a quick question. And thank you all by the way. Everyone is so helpful here! ( I am new oh and inexperienced at computers!) I want to speed up my computer. i was reading a book and it said there are some tools to help speed it up such as disc cleanup, Disk Defragmenter, and Chkdsk?? My computer is really slow so im trying to see whats wrong with it. I have done all the virus stuff. Oh and I deleted a lot of unused programs which I thought would make it so much faster and free up some space but when I went back under the C folder in program files, it was only like one less mb or gb whatever it is. haha cant you see im not that good with this stuff! Anyway, for disc cleanup... will that speed it up? I dont want to delete anything. Will it delete stuff? as for the chkdsk. should I do that to see whats wrong and what is disk defrag. Should I do that.
Got xp sp2 and the problem is it takes so long to do anything and it freezes and locks when open more then one browser why is this? What can download to make it run quicker?
I have Windows XP Pro sp2 and use 2.0.0.14 Firefox.I like Firefox but it starts up so slowly. IE starts up much more quickly so I'm back and forth. Can Firefox's start up be made faster and if so could you please tell me how to do it?
If like me you've tried everything else and your log-in and log-off to XP is still tremendously slow then you might try this little trick. First, if there are any other users on your computer see if they have a similarly long log-in. If they don't the problem might be your roaming profile, which is a folder where XP stores your settings you can access them from anywhere in the network. Since these profiles can get really bloated(as in my case) and are not really necessary unless you log-in from different computers in a large network, you should disable it. Here's how: 1. Right click on My Computer, select the Manage option. 2. From the Management Console, select the Local Users and Groups option. 3. Double-Click on the Users folder that appears on the right panel. 4. Right click on the account with the slow log-in and select Properties. 5. Click on the Profile tab of the Properties Window. 6. Erase(but keep note a not of this) whatever path appears for Profile Path under User Profile and Local Path under Home Folder: LEAVE THESE LINES BLANK. 7. Reboot. Try to log-in into the problematic account, you should see a significant speed-boost, the computer might warn you once or twice that your Roaming Profile is not available, ignore it and it will go away, good luck! Note: You also will not have your settings and files that a roaming profile provides across a network.

I have tried searching this forum and did some Googling but haven't seen a cure for this. I have a pretty fair amount of programs installed and my 'all programs' list is pretty long. The problem is it takes almost 30 seconds to scroll from the top to the bottom, which is annoying when I want to start a program that's at the bottom (or top) of the list. Does anyone know of a registry hack or something that can speed it up?
I have a Dell computer with XP Home edition.It has Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 1.6 GHz 1.59GHz, 512 MB Ram. I wanted to purchase a new computer but will lose many of my programs that will be very expensive to replace, some that are no longer compatible with new 64 Bit machines. Can I upgrade The memory and speed of my computer?
I was told by my norton tech that the reason my computer was running slow was the rams. He said I should upgrade to 2 GB, but my computer only has two slots and the one it takes can't go higher than 256 so right now I have two 128 mb if I put in two 256 mb ram will it run faster, will it be worth it? It runs real slow, and has been cleaned up by the norton tech.
I'm having lots of troubles with USB 2.0 support. My mother board is a ASUS P5GD2 Premium, which only has USB 2.0 ports but my Windows XP SP2 keeps popping up this error! I have some drivers, but they don't install because XP SP2 should already support USB 2.0. Maybe the cables that connect the USB ports are the problem.
My computer is rather slow, and I would like to get it run faster. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatfully accepted.are disk defragmentations speeding up anything or freeing up anything? And are they safe?
