Don't do this. If you do and you connect a USB 2.0 device, it won't work. As
I said yesterday, 2.0 is backward-compatible with 1.1, so when set up for
2.0, both USB formats will function, but not vice-versa.

You know there is a setting in my bios that controls USB, of course, it's
currently set for 2.0. However, there is a 1.1 setting also, I wonder if
changing that would make a difference. The computer that the book port does
work on at work is using 1.1 I think. I'll have to try changing that setting
that I have a bit of sighted help, since that does not talk.
