Any ideas?

What OS? If you're running XP SP1 I don't believe you need to install the
drivers.

Win2k.

Win2k didn't have built-in support for USB 2.0 until SP4. Either
obtain SP4 or download Intel's motherboard drivers.

What kind of speeds are you getting? Maybe you can test on somebody
else's USB 2.0 system to confirm it? Some sneaky manufacturers claim
their devices are USB 2.0 simply by virtue of having an interface
that's capable of it... but the medium itself isn't fast enough to
give you anything like USB 2.0 speeds.

To check that, one has to set the device manager to "Show devices by

Oh... actually I was thinking more of putting a 100MB file on the
flash drive and see how long it takes for the transfer to go through.
If the throughput is only 1Mbps, then it doesn't really matter what
the software or labels say. :PPpP

Yeah, that's what I did to test my data transfer speed. Way too slow
for USB 2.0 (a couple minutes to transfer 100MB).

Intel's driver is on the mobo's CD. They fail install.

It varies a lot by the flash USB drive mfr. On a Sandisk Cruzer Mini (USB
2.0) I've seen write speeds which are not that much faster than USB 1.1:
~1.1MB/s; the read speed is much faster: 11MB/s. Sandisk now has their
Titanium USB flash drives which are said to write as fast as 13MB/s. If
you look at their (and other mfr's) info on the early USB 2.0 flash drives,
the specs kinda mumble about actual speeds, especially write speeds.
