Hi all, i am unable to get USB 2 working. I have XP Home with SP2 installed i updated my drivers and all that but nothing seams to work. If you are able to help with this problem that would be great.

You might need to enable USB 2.0 in bios.

Look in Device Manager/USB Controllers and see if there's an entry titled USB2 Host Controller or USB Enhanced Host Controller.

- It does not matter what i plug into the USB port, i am still unable to get USB2.
- I have been into the BIOS and USB is enabled.
- Been into Device Manager and there is USB2 Enhanced Host Controler.

are u shure its not usb 2 but u think its 1?

Well when i plug in my USB flash drive it says, "This USB device can preform faster if you connect it to a Hi-Speed USB2 Port. For a list of available ports click here."
I have tried all my USB ports and it still says the same thing.

That can often happen and certainly isn't unusual. I get this sometimes, when using the front USB ports, which are fed from a mobo header.
I find whenever this happens, I can usually plug the device into the rear ports (straight off the mobo) and the device is fine.
It's all part of the flakey USB interface

I always use the rear ports because the ones at the front have never worked properly.. Its all just fuc*ed up! Time to upgrade this piece of shit.
