| 817138 | 2009-10-05 07:42:00 | My notebook has 4 USB2.0 sockets. Quite often when activating an external device connected via one or other of them I get a message that I will get better performance using a USB2.0 connection...click below to see them. I don't know if this is an incorrect message because when I click nothing shows. Is there anyway to check the connections I'm using? And why am I getting this message? Martynz |

| 817139 | 2009-10-05 07:51:00 | Assuming you are using Win XP go to device manager and check USB. If you have an Enhanced USB controller it would be safe to say it would be USB2 | Sweep (90) | ||
| 817140 | 2009-10-05 08:47:00 | Are you using a hub between the device and the PC? | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 817141 | 2009-10-05 21:45:00 | Tried reinstalling the USB Controller drivers. Right Click>Uninstall>scan for hardware changes or reboot. Blam |

| 817142 | 2009-10-06 05:19:00 | I have 4 USB sockets on my notebook One to my adsl modem One to a USB hub (with 7 sockets) One to an external HDD - this is the one that most frequently throws up the message about a faster connection. One currently to a film scanner so thats a total of 10 available but Device Manager doesn't show anything like this configuration. It only has 2, neither of which is named as being USB2.0 but if I click on them both the first shows 11 USBs (none of which are named as USB2.0) and the second shows 2 (both of which are named as being USB2.0). I'm totally confused. Martynz |

| 817143 | 2009-10-06 05:22:00 | The hub will probably appear as a hub in device manager. Whats the hdd plugged into a port or the hub?? Hubs dont always work with every USB device. I take it the notebook is always connected to power? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 817144 | 2009-10-06 07:23:00 | If the hub is not a powered one then it may be that the devices are not getting enough power. | Blam (54) | ||
| 817145 | 2009-10-06 07:37:00 | In case Speedy missed my last post the HDD is plugged directly into the notebook's USB and the notebook is always plugged into the mains. For Blam6 the hub is a powered one. Martynz |
