USB 2... it's meant to be fast, right?

[RedWarrior]

Not very amigan, sorry- but this is just my fave forum, and usually the only one that has useful information!

That said, I have a USB2 external harddrive (laCie 160gb) and a USB 2 card, but for some reason Xp insists I have a HI-SPEED device with no hi-speed host controller.

I've tried a bunch of driver cominations, installed everything that came on the cd with my usb2 card... with no joy. What is a hispeed host controller and how do i make it work?

There is a via chip on the usb2 card, if that's relevant...

Fresh format & reinstall yesterday... so goign through some teething problems, but this one has me stumped.

sometimes I just want to smash this computer to bits! (a la the printer in Office Space...)

Thanks for the tip- I read this as well... though I had already installed the drivers BEFORE downloading and installing SP1...

Have run SP1, uninstalled all my usb objects etc...

oh hang on- this time it didnt say it...

(turn off and on to be sure...)

oh great, now it's not doing it... so I've no way of knowing if it's working properly until later when I try to transfer large files... joy.

I'll be back...
