A wide variety of online retailers sell them from under a £5 delivered, amazon for example.

The PC is not recognising any 2.0 ports when I do a search and every time I plug something in i get the message saying that this device will run better if a USB 2.0 port is used.

I will strip the cabinet tomorrow and have a look at the card that is installed.

if all the drivers are installed, device manager should tell you what is installed, usb 2.0 cards will appear as enhanced.

Hi
I have an older PC and it only has USB1.1 ports, is it possible to upgrade them to 2.0 or even 3.0 without having to upgrade everything else?
Can I just buy the ports and plug them in to the same slots on the existing motherboard?

My PC was hand built about 6 years ago and I have no issues with it otherwise. Sadly I don't have details of the name or type of motherboard without stripping the box to have a look.

You don't need to strip anything, CPU-Z will tell you all that you need to know. Are you running XP with SP3?

You mean 2.0 devices; it'll hopefully recognize the ports, when you install them

This message is so, so annoying on one PC that I've had for 9 years. Is there no way of switching it off?

Yes you can, assuming you are on XP? Look here, hope that helps?

Have you not installed a new card then ?

Definitely recommend a USB 2.0 interface card as you'd need your PC to support a USB 2.0 hub feature to get full benefit of USB 2.0 devices.

(I was lucky and specified USB 2 ports on my Athlon64 system when I ordered it 8 years ago, and have 4 USB 1.1 ports and 4 USB 2 ports on it.)

Habe auf den Medion 8080XL einen Scanner, ebenfalls von Medion MD 9458, über USB laufen. Seltsamerweise will ihn der Rechner nur über die USB-Ports an der Frontseite akzeptieren. Sobald er in einen der USB-Ports auf der Rückseite angeschlossen wird will das System den Scanner nicht akzeptieren.
Was der Gerätemanger mit einem Fragezeichen USB-Device anzeigt.
Auf der Rückseite sind alle vier USB-Ports belegt. Der Scanner hat kein eigenes Netzteil.
Liegt das unter Umständen an der Stromverorgung?
Wer weiss wie ich den Scanner trotzdem auf einem der Ports auf der Rückseite betreiben kann?
