Hi All Since my re-install the devices I plug into USB posts, and that is most of my peripherals, seem to be running very slowly. This was brought home to me yesterday when I transferred some files to my external hard drive and it took many times the length it would normally have taken. My USB sockets are an addition to my mother board installed by an engineer to give me more flexibility. I'm wondering if it's possible that on the re-install I've reverted back to 1.1 and need drivers to upgrade to 2.0. If this is the case where do I look for the drivers on the web? How do I find the name of the device I have installed? The engineer will not answer questions on the phone, only by attending at £60 per hour plus VAT. Too rich for my pocket. If it's not a driver problem does anyone have any other ideas please. Roger
