USB 2.0 on Intel 865PERL mobo

I have a D865PERL running Win2K Pro and the CD wouldn't load the software or
drivers from the CD autorun. What I did was close the autorun window that
starts after CD insertion and brought up device manger, selected USB and
added drivers using "Update Driver". Click the "Specify a location" dialog
and browse the CD to the USB drivers. Intel Express Installer doesn't work,
so you can also load the additional sofware by browsing the disk with
Windows Explorer.

Trying to install the USB 2.0 drivers (from the motherboard's CD)
results in failure. Experiments using a USB 2.0 flash-drive prove I'm
not getting 2.0 speeds. BIOS settings to enable high-speed USB look
to be correct.

Any ideas?

for USB 2.0 (a couple minutes to transfer 100MB).


Have you tried the same on a system known to have a working full speed
USB 2.0 connection? The problem as I mentioned before, some
manufacturers are putting USB 2.0 interfaces on media that won't meet
that kind of speeds. There was some review done some time back by some
photography website and showed significant disparity between what
different brands of cards can achieve.

If you need basic to med complexity webpages at affordable rates, email me
Standard HTML, SHTML, MySQL + PHP or ASP, Javascript.
If you really want, FrontPage & DreamWeaver too.
But keep in mind you pay extra bandwidth for their bloated code

I don't have any known-good USB 2.0 machines. 8( I am checking on
data read from the flash, which would be faster than writing it...

I tend to think it's "my fault" since the driver install fails. It's
quite odd that the Intel driver won't install on in Intel board. And
the error message ("failed") is worthless.
