doesn't allow my card reader to work @ USB 2 speeds, and now i have wasted
money getting that when all along it must be bios settings or drivers and
not hardware !!!

Just tuning in here so pardon me if this has been previously discussed.

1. Have you ever had the card reader working at USB2.0?
Some of those cheap ones were advertised as USB2.0 compatable but have
never seen that speed.
2. Are you using an extender cable?
Many extender cables will degrade the speed to the point that a device
will drop back to 1.1.
3. Did the drivers load smoothly for the USB2.0 card?
Some cards are very finicky about their drivers. Especially the VIA Chip
series. In fact, I have had to remove and reload drivers several times
before they finally loaded properly.

HTH, Good luck.

suddenly worked

i have a cable, tried it without to see, still "this device would be faster
if you plugged it into a usb 2.0 port"

windows installed them, came with a disk and have found its a NEC 1 but the
drivers on the CD do not work with it in NEC mode
