If Windows complains about a "HI-SPEED device plugged into a non HI-SPEED port", you have USB 1.0. If there is no message, USB 2.0. GFree wrote:

Look in device manager and google for whatever USB chipset is reported, or measure throughput of a USB drive using perfmon, or look in the motherboard manual, or look at the specs on the manufacturers website. -- /mel/ np: silence /mel/ wrote:

It happens to me all the time with my computer at work. suspect that it's something particular to either the device driver or the chipset driver. What devices are you using? I would guess that if the device is something that absolutely requires USB2 bandwith - then it would be sensible for the driver to complain. -- /mel/ np: silence Lookee here: http://hogranch.com/files/Bitmaps/USB-device-manager.png
Here you can clearly see the USB contoller with other hardware attached. If you don't see something like that, the right driver might not be installed and you'll see it as an 'Unknown device', a questionmark icon. Also, if you can see the chipset type (like Intel 82801DB), you might find something on the site of the manufacturer, or just try searchin the Web. Also, make sure you have the 'Show devices by connection' enabled in the View menu. Wimmy PS: Or try this: http://www.lavalys.com/products/download.php?dlid=1&lang=en Wim Cossement wrote:

IT's still a good program to have though. -- /mel/ /mel/ wrote:
