You have reinstalled SP1a, etc?
By re-installing, what do *you* mean?
 
I have an Acer laptop with XP home installed and two USB1 sockets.

I've got an external box that houses an IDE Hard Drive with USB2
connectors.

I recently bought a Kouwell PC card that gives me two USB2 sockets.

Installation went OK and it shows up correctly in device manager,
trouble is I have no noticable increase in speed.

To test I have a 50MB text file consisting of capital As only, to
transfer it from my internal hard drive to my external one connected
to USB1 took 90 seconds; I think that is about 5mbps.

Connecting the external box to my USB2 sockets took almost the same,
tested three times it was between 75 and 85 seconds, hardly the
blistering 400+ mbps that I expected.

Any ideas what may be wrong...
