Delayed Write Error for external USB 2.0 drive...could it have been a Windows Update that caused it?

I have an external USB 2.0 HDD (160 GB) connected to a USB 2.0 PCI card. About 7
weeks ago, early December, this drive used to work and copy big files fast. Now
I just get Delayed Write Errors and the machine locks up. I've been searching
the internet for causes of this problem, and there are many issues with this.
The only M$ answer has to do with drives that don't run at HIGH SPEED (Article
ID 908673, January 6, 2006)! A hot fix is available if you are running the drive
at slow speed. C'mon, this problem has been around for 30 months, at least, on
various complaint boards.
The latest "FIX" I read suggested uninstalling the latest Windows Updates (KB
905915 & KB 910437) which were released in December, 2005. I haven't tried that
yet, but I did come across a very irate user of that Windows Update (KB 905915),
and here is the link to THAT tirade!
