Re: usb warning "this device could perform faster" showing up... sometimes.

I just had "Another" SanDisk Micro Cruzer go bad on me. The issue
this time was that it was inserted and accidently struck by a chair. For
a couple of weeks whenever you inserted it sometime it would flag as
being capable of running faster or identified as an unknown device. I
would suspect your device is probably in the process of failing as well.
The only benefit for me is that every time I replace it, I get to purchase
a larger size. The latest Cruzer is an 8-Gigabyte model for $47.

Hello,

I hope someone can help me about the following problem : when I connect
my USB memory stick (Kingston Datatraveler, model DTI/1Gb), I get most
of the time the warning "this device could perform faster" and the speed
is not good, as being warned. But if I remove the stick, then put it
back a few times, the warning will eventually not come back. I cannot
figure out how and why the problem disappears, but when the message
doesn't show up anymore the speed gets better.

Some details:
- this happens on two computers, both running Win XP (this one is Win XP
home edition SP2, the other computer I think runs Win XP profesionnal
edition but I'm unsure).
- I did not try on another machine, and didn't try another stick on
these computers.
- sometimes I do nothing but disconnect/reconnect the stick, and the
warning disappears.
- if I reboot or hibernate the computer, the warning comes back when I
reconnect my stick ; and I have to disconnect/reconnect again for some
time before the warning goes away.

I appreciate any help and suggestion !
