Hei!

Jeg lurer på hvordan jeg finner ut om jeg har usb 2.0 (high speed usb 480
mbps).

Takk

If I understand your question, you want to know how to find out if you
have USB 2.0.

It should be listed in the motherboard manual, motherboard
manufacturer's website, or in the tech specs from the OEM and/or
system builder. If you can't figure out from this, mention and
provide a link to your motherboard, the manufacturer's product page.

If the motherboard is more than ~ 2 years old it probably doesn't have
USB 2. In Window's Device Manager the USB ports would show up as
"Enhanced", EHC, for USB 2, but only "Universal" for USB 1.1.

Pardon the poor translation:
------------------------------------------------------
Den burde stå oppført inne hovedkortet håndbok , hovedkort fabrikant
website , eller inne det teknikken spesiell fra det OEM Andorra /
system bygge. Hvis du kan ikke regne ut fra her , nevne og skaffe en
koble sammen å din hovedkort , det fabrikant fabrikat side. Hvis
hovedkortet er mer enn ~ 2 år gamle den sannsynligvis ikke ha USB 2.
Inne Vinduets Apparat Bestyrer det USB havnebyer ville viser opp idet
" forsterket EHC , for USB 2, bortsett fra bare " universell " for USB
1.1.

Excuse me jumping in on this thread.

I have a new mobo, a Soltek SL-FRN752-L. I have installed XP and it tells me
(when I install the mobo drivers) that for USB2 to work I need service pack
1 installed. Well, for reasons of my own, I don't want to install sp1.

Does anyone know a work-around for this? Any help much appreciated.

(I know this is a hardware group and this could be considered off-topic but
I feel comfortable here and there is a wealth of knowledge here)

TIA,
 
Excuse me jumping in on this thread.

If I can jump in too, I was going to ask anyway whether you can tell easily
that your USB ports are installed properly - I can't seem to get my device
working (which works on other known-to-be working USB ports). During
installation under win2k, my USB device shows up as unknown and that an
error occured and that installation failed because a function driver was not
specified for this device, despite me telling it precisely what it was (a
media reader with CD drivers for win2k).

Do I need to install a driver for a newly added USB port? I haven't been
prompted for one - I'm not even sure if its 1.1 or 2.0 - how can I tell?
There's no unknown devices showing up in the device manager for anything
before I tried to install the new USB device. The wires on the port are:

red red
white white
green green
black black
empty and dummy

Thanks for any advice : )

I believe that with both 2K and XP you need service packs installed to
enable USB2.

Are you up to date with service packs?

I don't know, a Google search might find it but here's what I GUESS
might work:

Use a decompression utility to extract the contents of the SP1.
Find the "USB*.in_" files, rename to "USB*.cab", then decompress...
might be natively supported in WinXP, don't know.

Use that decompressed INF file to guide in the steps to enable the
function, which other files from the SP1 need copied over. This might
need be done outside of windows for files overwriting those currently
in use.

Certainly the above is very high risk, I would only try it after
making a restorable backup.

Hmm, Thanks Dave, I'll file this for future reference.

I don't have anything yet that needs USB2 but it would be nice to have it
enabled.

Cheers,

......unless the mobo ships a/the "update" with it's own drivers. ~I think~.
I have XP installed without SP1 and my devices show the following:

- Intel PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controler
- Intel(r) 828101DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controler - 24C2
- Intel(r) 828101DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controler - 24C4
- Intel(r) 828101DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controler - 24C7
- USB 2.0 Root Hub
- USB root hub
- USB root hub
- USB root hub

I have no way of otherwise confirming USB2.0 is in fact installed and
functional.

I'm bang up to date with SP4 and all consequent updates, but still no joy. I
take it that you believe my new ports with those coloured wires means it is
a USB 2.0 then. Thanks.
 
.....unless the mobo ships a/the "update" with it's own drivers. ~I

I know my board is USB2.0 compatible and the USB 2.0 controller is installed
for the other existing ports -
- Intel PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controler
- Intel(r) 828101DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controler - 24C2
- Intel(r) 828101DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controler - 24C4
- Intel(r) 828101DB/DBM USB Universal Host Controler - 24C7
- USB 2.0 Root Hub
- USB root hub
- USB root hub
- USB root hub
Click to expand...

Pretty much the same on the machine in question - it has the enhanced, USB
2.0 root and normal USB root hub entries listed. Does each port need to be
listed i.e., do my 6 USB *.* ports need to show up 6 times?
I have no way of otherwise confirming USB2.0 is in fact installed and

Same here - unless of course we plug in USB 2.0 only devices - which I can't
do right now, and as I've said the device I'm trying to install on the new
ports is having problems, whereas on the other ports it works fine.

Thanks, I'll look at the Soltek site but I doubt it's there as the board is
new and it insists on sp1.
 
1 installed. Well, for reasons of my own, I don't want to install sp1.

Just out of curiosity...why? (program compatibility?)
 
Probably too lazy to patch his illegal copy of WinXP and doesn't want it
shutting itself down.

And excuse ME for jumping in; I have USB 2.0 but I heard and I don't
know if it's true or not but in order for it to work you need USB 2.0
cables? True or not?

Or doesn't want to risk further problems just for this one ability,
or doesn't agree to the EULA,
or doesn't want to download (isn't it 133MB?) to do what a 200K driver
should,
or ...
 
No. Cables are the same. USB2 cables are a
marketing hype.

All of the above. My system is stable, secure and fast. I've heard a few
horror stories concerning sp1 and don't need anymore hassles.
