IT Queries: Computer problems answered

OS : WIndows XP SP2

I am having a problem with my USB PCI card.It is of VIA, it is written on the card is of 2.0, but I am not getting speed of 2.0, infact whenever I am connecting any USB device (Tried with many PEN drives), windows XP balloon popup says “This device can perform faster ” This USB device can perform faster if you connect it to a Hi Speed USB 2.0 port. For list of available ports, click here.”
I tried many drivers from internet, but no luck.
I am planning to use printer port to connect USB drive
Please let me know whether it will work optimally or not

Plan:
1. Connect Printer port to USB cable
2. Attach USB female to female point at the USB node
3. Attach USB drive at the last USB node.

What will be the result. Whether computer will detect it as USB drive, and in case detected whether will it give 2.0 speed?

The “this device can perform faster” message is a common problem on Windows XP systems, as we’ve discussed previously this message is often simply incorrect.

It could be that the drivers for your USB card haven’t been installed so Windows has chosen to use the standard XP drivers that only detect 1.0 USB devices.

You should have received with the card a CD or DVD with the correct drivers and software on it, if not you should visit the VIA website and download the correct drivers for your USB card.
