Hi There
I have a Dell Optipex that has four USB Ports and none of them seem to be a high speed USB port 2.0. I cannot believe that I have four ports that will not accept my Philips USB 2.0 A/V Adapter. Can I change these ports to be faster?, were they originally faster and something has gone astray. If I go into the properties of these USB ports they come up with Intel (R) 8280/BA/USB Host 2442 and 2443. If I cannot alter what I already have what is my best option. I have a Wanadoo Wireless Adapter that works but if I take it out and put it back it I get the same message but it works. If I plug my Philips USB Adapter in it doesn't work and it also stops my wireless mouse from working right.
Please advise but try to keep info clear as I am a comparative beginner particulary with computer jargon and computer hardware. I read somewhere that an external hub is probably my best option but advise on which one would be appreciated.
In device manager under the Universal Serial Bus controllers section if one of them does not say Enhanced Host controller, then you don't have USB2. To get his capability purchase a USB2 add in card from your local computer store.
