A buddy sent me this question and I have no clue as to the answer(s).

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lately I have been plugging in my 512M flash drive into USB ports on
boxes with XP and SP1 and SP2 installed only to be told that the port
is running on USB1 drivers and that one should use a HighSpeed USB2
port. I thought USB2 was installed by default on the XPSP1, these
boxes already had SP2 installed and still no USB2. IS there a
lightweight utility to check these USB ports?
