Hiya!

Is there anyway to know what USB ports do I have in my Laptop with
WindowsXP?

I want to know if they are 1.0 or 2.0. Well, in fact, I know that they are
1.0 cos 2.0 wasn't out by the time I bought the laptop...but it would be
nice if this information appeared in device manager or system info...or
maybe it is stored somwhere in the registry?

Thanx!

Click to expand...

Right click "My Computer" and select "Properties"

Click on "Hardware" tab

Click "Device Manager"

Scroll down to "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" and click on the +
to expand

If you have USB 2 you should see it listed there as:-

"USB 2.0" and/or "Enhanced"

If not, then you have 1.0
