If so, your front USB ports are 1.1, not 2.0. You should have two USB 2.0 ports on back. Will that be sufficient? If not, ADDING a PCI USB card to add more USB 2.0 ports would be a solution.

I have a system with a motherboard that had two USB 2.0 ports on back and USB 1.1 ports on front. I installed Rosewill Low-Profile PCI to 2+1 USB2.0 Cards Model RC-100, which provided two additional USB 2.0 ports on back and allowed me to convert two front ports to USB 2.0 by switching the wiring for those ports from the motherboard pins to the pins on the card.My computers old enough to only have usb 1.1; and as far as I can tell, the front ports are connected with a PROPRIETARY DELL front panel connector; solution? plug the hub/card reader into my PCI-USB card, making it easy access for mass storage and my MP3 player.both front and back usb are 1 or 1.1 i have bought a usb 2 hub to go into psi slot which xp picked up but it shows up code 10 error ive tried to uninstall all usb devices and re boot which then installs drivers but still showing up code 10 fault ?Go into device manger and right click the device and choose Update Driver. This will start the Hardware Update Wizard. Follow the instructions to update the driver. The card manufacturer may have an updated driver for that card. You can try to download it from there.

If that doesn't do it, then I would suspect that there is a conflict of system resources.
If you don't know how to manually configure your devices then you may have a hard time trying to resolve the conflict.

Have you thought about just buying a network card for internet?i will try the device manager way again but i can not go on net to download new driver till the usb 2 runs
my internet connection is usb 2 mobile dongle from three not sure what network card does to be honest and will it work ? i just seem to be buying and not resolvingA 2.0 hub will not make a 1.1 slot run at that speed...you need a PCI 2.0 USB add on card to do so...Don't buy a network card if your connection is a USB dongle. Network cards are for Ethernet (RJ45) connections.

As for updating your drivers, I disagree that you should use Windows to find updates. I don't think that has ever worked for me.

Go directly to the manufacturers website and find your product. You bought it, so you should know precisely what it is. Find downloads/support for it and get the latest drivers.

Verify BEYOND a shadow of a doubt that the PCI USB card is, in fact, USB 2.0.
