USB2 now USB1

Hi. Three weeks ago I installed Registry cleaner software on my pc but
unfortunately it cleaned more than it should have and my pc would not start,
even in safe mode. In desperation I tinkered with the bios (the only thing I
could get on screen) systematically enabling everything that was disabled,
and disabling everything that was enabled, rebooting each time with the
back-up disc I made when I bought the pc in the cd drive each time.
Eventually, something must have worked because the pc suddenly burst into
life and the cd did its job and re-installed Windows for me.
Everything's working fine now apart from the three USB2 ports on the front
of the machine. Whatever I plug in to these ports, I get an error message
saying "This device can perform faster if you connect to a USB2 port.
The USB ports on thr rear of the machine are unaffected.
Please help.
Thanks

XP has problems with USB. Try attaching something to the USB port in
question, use the safe remove to remove it and plug it in again.

Alias

In Device Manager uninstall USB. Then reboot and let it reinstall.
DO NOT use registry cleaners! See this:

Hi Bob
How do I know which ports to uninstall?
The 4 at the rear are ok and I have a 4 port usb hub connected to one of
these which supplies connection to 2 external hard drives and the mouse, as
well as another hub which I use for mp3 players etc.
Im not too keen on disrupting these components.

Good question. Unfortunately I don't know the answer. Maybe someone else
will respond.

What do you mean by "OK"? From your previous post, they apparently
aren't functioning at USB 2.0 level.

Sounds as if all of your stuff is on the hub. Is it?

Connect one of the devices into one of the rear ports and see if you
still get the message.

Hi PD43.
The 4 usb ports at the rear are all usb2 and working correctly, as are
everything connected to them (1Printer, 2Scanner, 3Modem, 4Hub which houses
two external hard drives, mouse, + another non-powered hub for mp3 players
etc).
The usb ports working as usb1 are all on the front panel of the machine.

Cheers

How can you tell if you have USB2.0 installed on your system, try the
following:
Right click My Computer >> Select Properties >> On System properties click
Hardware tab.
On Hardware Tab click on Device Manager and locate this or Expand the Plus
[+] to [-] Minus to see the tree of USB :
[-]Generic USB Hub
intel(R) 82801EB USB Universal host contoller 24D2
intel(R) 82801EB USB Universal host contoller 24D2
intel(R) 82801EB USB Universal host contoller 24D4
intel(R) 82801EB USB Universal host contoller 24D7
####################################
Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller << this means you have USB2.0
####################################
USB Composite Device
USB Composite Device
USB Mass Storage Device
USB 2.0 root hub << also this
USB root hub
USB root hub
USB root hub

If you got the Enhanced in your USB tree you got USB2.0, try to Remove it
and Reboot your machine, windows should install it for you if does have the
driver, if it doesn't you need to Get the updates from the Machine
Manufacturer website or you may be given a CD with all drivers on it.

Or you can tell us the Model and we can help.
HTH.
