Nothing on FAQs, so I'll ask...
IBM Thinkpad R40, Win XP Pro O/S, 1Gig of memory and with two USB2.0 ports.
Plugged my external hard drive into the usual USB port and got a message telling me I'd plugged a Hi-Speed device into a low speed port. Same again if I plug in the DVD burner. Same if I use the other USB port. The cordless key board and cordless game control both work fine on both ports. So do the Sony 4 Gig memory stick and my Nikon camera.
Everything worked perfectly previously and device manager tells me all the USBs are working properly. Tried uninstalling the external drives to re-install them, but as soon as I plug them in I get the same message - hi-speed device plugged into a lo-speed port. The microsoft trouble shooter is as useless as usual - asks you to do a load of simple things and then says it can't work out the problem.
Any ideas what to try next? :confused:
