Desire USB 2 For All My Ports...

[Guest]

..

How do I assign all of my USB ports to be 2.0?

In device manager I have open, enhanced, and root declarations.
I have a high speed USB device. I currently have 6 USB ports
(there are 2 pair built into motherboard, and two in front of case).
XP Pro SP1. Motherboard supports 2.0 and is declared in BIOS.
Plugging in this device into 4 of the 6 ports nets a low speed port error.
I have not tried the other two yet.

A thread I discovered yesterday suggests I remove all declarations except
the enhanced one, and to reboot. Will this cause all the ports to now be in
the enhanced "folder" as "subfolders"? This is what I am trying to accomplish.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Without more details (aka motherboard make and model), we can not guide you to
a more complete solution. The only suggestion is to "clear" out all the
devices under USB in Device Manager and shutdowm Windows. Boot the PC back up
and access the BIOS. Check to see if your motherboard may have a setting to
tell which level of USB the ports are to use (should be BOTH.) Reboot and let
XP redetect all USB ports. cards and hubs.

Yves,

Do I clear ALL USB devices, INCLUDING the Enhance device too?

Giga-byte Ka-8na?? (1600 FSB model) AMD64
BIOS says "Both", as stated in original thread.
No additional USB cards added to motherboard.

I am trying to accomplish eight "Subfolder" hubs INSIDE the Enhanced "Folder".
(as shown when the low speed port error window appears when plugging in a
high speed device to the low speed port) I DO HAVE A SCREEN SHOT OF THIS
WINDOW.

Currently there are no "subfolders" within the USB controller section
(level 1 declarations of 3 hubs, 2 open and 1 enhanced).


I have determined this is not a motherboard issue, rather an OS issue.
