I just got an 8300. May I assume the 8 USB ports are 2.0 enabled? PS.
Original ship date 6/2/04. Delayed to 6/11/04 yet I got the PC on
6/8/04. Go figure. Thanks

I just got a Dell 4600 - how do I tell if I have USB 2.0. TIA.

Right click on "my computer",
"properties"
"hardware"
"device manager"
find "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" on the list,
any "enhanced" controllers listed (i.e. VIA USB Enhanced Host Controller)
are USB 2.0.
Any other USB controllers (i.e. VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host
Companion Controller) not specifically labeled "enhanced" are USB 1.0.

I have an 8250 with 8 USB ports (6 in back, 2 in front). All are SUPPOSED
to be 2.0, but only 4 are ( the 2 in front and 2 of the back ones). 3
months of tech support troubleshooting, 3 visits by an in-home tech,
replacement of mother board, cables, graphics card, sound card, hard drive
and case fan, and still had the problem.

Dell agreed to replace the system, but with an inferior graphics card, so I
ended up keeping this one, USB problem & all. I really only need 2 USB 2.0
ports right now, but it would be nice to have what I paid for.

.... and now for a word from our trusty flamers...

I bought my Dimension 8300 two months ago and had problems and had to
reinstall everything. Since reinstalling my system I also have only 2 Hi
speed USB ports. I constantly receive an error message everytime I turn on
my computer that I have Hi speed devices plugged into non hi speed USB
ports. I have tried reinstalling the drivers for USB 2.0 and still get the
same message. I see that several others are having the same problem with no
solution on the Dell forums. So you are not alone here.

But you said you reinstalled. If you got this error message PRIOR to the
reinstall (which I believe you did not), then you still have not properly
installed everything.

DID YOU INSTALL THE MOTHERBOARD DRIVERS FIRST?

No I did not get this error message prior to reinstalling. The problem I
had was with memory sockets and the techs at Dell had me erase the hard
drive thinking that would fix the problem. Of course it didn't so I had to
reinstall. After my hard drive was erased the memory was put into the other
two memory sockets and then I put everything back on the hard drive. The
error occurred at this point. The technician then reinstalled my
motherboard and nothing was changed on my hard drive. After the new
motherboard was installed the error still occurred.

Thanks,

Also as a follow up to Tom's advice, have you installed any USB supplements
that are on the driver and utilities disc? Some of the systems had a
supplemental fix that had to be installed as well (I believe my 4600 has it
and I think the 8300 does as well).

Regards,
John O.

I did try reinstalling this supplement for USB 2. It installs part way and
then skips the rest and says it is installed, but it doesn't appear to do
anything.
Thanks
