It might just be the cable you are using.
The USB1 cables are thinner than USB2 cables

This is what
The USB section in control panel says
'The USB mass storage device will function at reduced speed. You must add a
high speed usb host controller to this computer to obtain maximum
performance'?
 
Cables are cables, USB has 4 conductors. There is no such thing as
a USB-1 or USB-2 cable. It's all marketing, The type of Serial data
USB uses doesn't care about the Gauge of wire used in the conductors.

Do other USB2 devices run at full speed?

If not, you may have not installed the motherboard drivers. Your board
would have come with a CD that has the drivers necessary to enable USB2
speeds.

Both the mobo usb drivers and asus usb download say if i have service pack 1
or more for xp then usb 2.0 should be installed automatically? Whats going
on? Does anyone else own an asus M2NE mobo and get a similar occurance when
connecting flash drives or other devices?

**NO**

I recently came across this when friend of mine was trying to access his
external drive...
he was using an old USB cable that was appox 1/4" in diameter. He could only
access the drive at USB1 speed.

When we switched over to a cable that was approx 3/8" in diamater the drive
was accessed at USB 2 speeds!

It could be the cable!

The other drivers appear to work normally. I Have a printer, usb music
keyboard and a usb mouse but it is harder to notice with these devices and i
dont remember the running low prompt when pluging them in.

There are *chipset drivers for the motherboard* that are often needed to do
this.

Install the chipset driver and see what you get.

These may be USB 1 devices, as they can't benefit from the higher speeds of
USB2.

As it happens, even USB audio interfaces, 24-bit A/D converters, until
recently only used USB1 as the bandwidth of USB2 isn't needed for stereo
inputs. The newer USB2 devices allow more than 2 simultaneous analog
inputs.

You should recheck with devices that you know are USB2.

In the meantime, install the chipset drivers from the motherboard CD.

USB devices run at the lowest speed of any of the involved devices. Your
computer has to support 2.0; any USB hub has to be USB2.0; and the device
has to be 2.0.
 
As far as USB cables are concerned I'm aware of only the length
restriction. Also I made a mistake in stating that USB cables have
only 4 conductors, actually the Mini-USB cable has 5.
