From: Margaret Bartley on 14 Nov 2009 07:03 WinXP SP 3 Media Center edition 2002 When I plugged my Memory Card REader/Writer into my VAIO machine, which is about five years old, I got a messaget hat it was not plugged into a high-speed USB port. I clicked on the alert, and it opened up a window with the title, "HI-SPEED USB Device Attached to non-HI-SPEED Hub. then, it showed a tree-view of the Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller. Under it was an entry, USB Root HUB (8 ports) This is in bold font. Under this USB Root Hub were 8 entries, 6 of which said, "Unused Port", one said USB Composite Device" and one said, Sony Memory Card Reader/Writer. At the bottom of the screen, it said Recommendation Disconnect the USB Mass Storage Device from its current port and then connect it to one of hte ports on a hub shown in bold type. Well, I think the card reader/writer is the thing that is sendign the error message, and it is plugged into the root hub which is listed in bold type. Is this a bug in Windows, or is there something not obvious that I can do to get better performance out of this card reader?

It is *not* a bug in Windows. What in the world would make you jump to that conclusion? It is telling you that your computer's hardware does not seem to include USB 2.0 ports and/or the particular port you are utizing does not have USB 2.0 capabilities. What is the exact model of your Sony Vaio and when did you actually purchase it? What you are looking for under computer manager that would let you know you had USB 2.0 ports available to you with the proper drivers installed woud be "Enhanced" or something similar in the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" section of Device Manager.

You can get a converter card or hub at your local computer store. Good luck!

Most devices will work with a USB 1.0 slot, they are just a little slower. Just ignore the irritating warnings. Oliver

If the USB 2.0 hub plugs into a USB 1.0 port, the USB 1.0 port will limit the circuit to USB 1.0. -- Don Vancouver, USA "Cefoxtrot" <Cefoxtrot(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0D255BCF-4CEC-4C4F-B803-7518E2076A50(a)microsoft.com... > Your laptop does not have any high speed USB ports.
