USB 2 Still Slow

Hi guys,

I realise you've already seen a few queries on this, but I can't find
an answer to my particular problem.

I just bought a USB 2.0 PCI card and installed it. But I'm not getting
any difference in transfer speed when downloading mp3 files to my mp3
player. My mp3 player used to provide a pop up message when I
connected it to my PC saying that it could transfer faster, but it no
longer does that despite my transfer rates still being the same.

I've checked the device manager, and I do get something appearing
stating I have a "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" so I'm
assuming that I do have the USB 2 installed. The name of my Mp3 player
appears separately when connected via USB on this list as well, does
that matter?

I do not have anything else connected to the USB card.

Any ideas as to what could be wrong? I've reinstalled drivers for both
USB card and my MP3 player with no success.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Contro.
