USB 2.0 Help.

[kim1220]

Hey--I have a question, which is probably pretty easily answered. I have an ASUS P4S800 motherboard which has USB 2.0. I just bought a Creative Nomad Zen Xtra 20GB MP3 player and when I plug it into any of my USB ports, a message pops up saying that the USB device is a high-speed transfer device and that I should plug it into a faster port for the best transfer rate. When I first built the computer, I installed everything on the mobo driver disk, so I'm not sure if it didn't include the USB 2.0 drivers or if it was just a bad install. Anyway, I was just wondering how I could fix this, because the transfer of data to/from my computer/MP3 player is EXTREMELY slow. I left if for 40 minutes and it just kept saying it was transferring data... Thanks.

ASUS did something funny...
IN the bios, they set it up so you could CHOOSE which USB format you wanted, and so you could REVERT to the other if needed...IF you didnt set it, its on version 1.1 I think..

you need to patch your windows. it's a common 'bug'.

Then you may have to change drivers also..
But its a NICE thing really.. try going BACKWARDS. Try using 2.0 on a decive that only has 1.0 or 1.1...
