Hi All,
Not sure if this is correct forum. However, i would appreciate some help on my USB definition.
The problem is this:

i am convinced i only have USB 1 despite the system info here: - hence the following problems 1 & 2.

HID-compliant device

1. ive had printer problems for awhile (all in an earlier post) ie. winxp wont start while printer plugged in. Note:
USBPRINT\LEXMARK_5200_SERIES\7&22108F0&0&USB001

2. External USB modem delays startup. ie. extract the usb plug and it starts immediately.

I have 6 USB ports but the above shows 5 + Modem and Printer = 7
Am i right?

I recently printed out the Futuremark SystemInfo Explorer.
USB Devices show: all above usb controllers driver date 7-1-2001 dvr version 5.1.2600.
The VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller & VIA USB Enhanced Host Controller r just listed under PCI Devices.
I have been to this site:

Plz read the VIA USB 2.0 section. What should i dwnld from the list to enable USB2??
Incidentally, the VIA mobo is fairly new so i do have the CD supplied. (so y isnt it USB 2 already?)
the printer port is certainly usb 1 according to Belarc.

Any other details required plz let me know.
Is it a simple driver update? Thanx all.

Just to verify: all your USB ports are on the motherboard?

In other words you are not using a USB PCI card. Is this correct?

If so the USB 1 or 2 is set by your motherboard. What is the exact make and model?

This scan should show it if you don't know:

USB 2 devices are generally backwards compatible to USB 1 but of course will only run at that slower speed.
Again this is set by the motherboard unless you've added a USB 2 PCI card onto a USB 1 motherboard.
