Ok fellas,

I enabled 2.0 in the BIOS. In one of the entries. Then my mouse

driver. I want the proprietary driver 'cuz I got me a fancy mouse.

Click to expand...

Then simply reverse the change you made in the BIOS. It would appear
that your "fancy mouse" isn't USB2-compatible.

Just reinstall the proprietary software.
To answer some of your other questions:
All your ports should be 2.0 capable, the reason for the multiple entries in the device manager is
for the backwards compatibility of your 2.0 ports for 1.1 stuff.

There is a small program called USB Monitor which when run will give you a listing of each port and
what it is capable of and what is hooked into it.
 
Are you actually suggesting that a USB 1.1 device will not work in a
USB 2.0 port? Do you just make this stuff up?

USB 2.0 has backwards compatibility for 1.1. Since you have updated the ports that the mouse that
plugs into it will look like new hardware to Windows. Just reinstall your software to take full
ability of the mouse.
 
Hi David,
You have been helpful to me -- thank you so much! I downloaded
USB Monitor and fiddled with it. This is the short version of what it
says:

====================================================
Intel(r) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controller - 24C2
USB Root Hub
Port1: No Device Connected
Port2: No Device Connected
Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controller - 24C4
USB Root Hub
Port1: Generic USB Hub
Port1: USB Human Interface Device
Port2: No Device Connected
Port3: No Device Connected
Port2: Saitek Gaming Mouse (USB)
Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controller - 24C7
USB Root Hub
Port1: No Device Connected
Port2: No Device Connected
Intel(r) 82801DB/DBM USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller - 24CD
USB Root Hub
Port1: No Device Connected
Port2: No Device Connected
Port3: No Device Connected
Port4: No Device Connected
Port5: EPSON Perfection 4490
Port6: No Device Connected
====================================================
Controller 24C2 -- I have no idea what or where this is, or what USB
speed is enabled.

Controller 24C4 -- This is a USB 1.1 keyboard. It has two USB hubs on
the keyboard itself. I can plug thumb drives or other stuff into
them. Handy -- right there for me. The keyboard itself is USB 1.1,
so I suppose the two ports that are available are also limited to the
speed of USB 1.1


Controller 24C7 -- I have no idea what or where this is, or what USB
speed is enabled.

USB 2.0 Enhanced Controller 24CD -- these must be the six ports that
are already built into my computer: four in the back and two on the
right side of the case. The Epson scanner is plugged into one of the
side ports. It's a USB 2.0, so I presume I will be getting the fast
2.0 speed.

The keyboard and the mouse are both plugged into the back ports.

QUESTION: Have I made any mistakes or left out anything important in
my simple-minded analysis? Can you think of anything else I need to
do? I'm going to want to buy an external hard drive, and I'll for
sure need a 2.0 port for that.

I appreciate your assistance.

Hi David,

You are a saint! I'm so glad you confirmed this. I can't for
the life of be figure out why Bruce Chambers would have suggested that
my "fancy mouse" isn't USB 2.0 compatible.

All the 24 whatevers except "CD" are USB controllers. One may not be seen
physically as it may be a connector on the motherboard that needs a physical
connector to the outside of the PC.

The only way to actually ***know*** if any port on any USB controller is USB
2.0 capable is to connect a USB 2.0 capable device and attempt to operate
that device. A printer can't show any speed advantage as it can't process
data faster than the slower 1.1 speed. Your system may not support all
controllers and/or ports as USB 2.0 capable.

The 24CD represents USB 2.0 capability driver installed, its not a physical
port or controller.
 
thats only true for some hardware though. if a device has a software based
installation then you won't have that issue but since most hardware have
driver based installations you will get that issue but there is one way
around that.
 
Alternatively, when the device is not connected to the computer, you can
remove its entry from the device manager (after toggling the view
non-present-device switch).

Once you re-connect the device to the computer, the computer will re-detect
the device as new hardware (at which point, you feed it whatever drivers it
needs).

Hi Jason,
This is an excellent idea! I'll give it a try if the problem
persists. Thank you!
