    I bought a new pci card that has 4 USB2 ports on it. I put it into my pc which is running XP with SP2. The machine is only seeing the card as a USB 1.1 pci card. The software/drivers that came with the card tell me that "SP1 has up to date drivers" and then stops.

    Does anyone know of a way i can get the drivers out of the .exe file as trying windows update / updating my drivers over the net doesn't seem to work. It tells me the drivers are up to date - coz it thinks it's usb 1.1

    I've got my pc running sweet and i don't want to reinstall windows from scratch to get this card running. I booted from a linux live cd and it sees the card as USB2 - so i know it works ok.

    thanks.

    I have an PC card- Orange Micro 4 port USB2 adapter and it needs to be plugged into an outlet to show as USB2 because my laptop only has 1.1. Windows shows a Nec PCI to USB Host Controller (b1) for USB2 in the usb properties if I don't have the Orange Micro drivers installed.
    Is Windows seeing new hardware when you insert it?

    yeah when i put it in the pc installed it as a new device. A usb 1.1 card.
    I put a new 80 gig drive in as well - so i think i'm gonna ghost my setup onto that and reinstall XP from scratch to see if that works.

    it's a pain - but at least i won't lose all my files.

    thanks for yer help.
