How to install "High Speed" USB Driver
I have an approx 4 year old Dell Inspiron Laptop with two USB Ports. I have a flash drive that I loaded some files onto from my main machine with is about 1 1/2 years old. I pulgged the flash drive into a USB port on the laptop & I get a message (to the effect of) "You need to install High Speed USB Driver".
The laptop came with Windows XP Home reinstalled, I don't have a Windows CD.
How do I install "High Speed Driver"?

Since your laptop is around 4 years old, you may not have 2.0 capable USB ports as suggested. You may need to upgrade. you can purchase PCMCIA USB 2.0 ports. There are some for less than $20:

To ottobock:
I was stupid, it works. When I saw the error message I assumed it needed action.
I just tried to copy the files off of it like a normal drive & it worked fine.
BTW, the laptop is a Dell Inspiron 8200.
You get the points.

The device is refering to newer USB 2.0 devices. This will actually be a difference in hardware instead of just basic software. It is possible you have USB2.0 ports with an inaccurate driver - or that the flashdrive needs some sort of software to run.
Can you give us the specs on your laptop (model #) and the flash drive (model)? Also, does the flash drive still work - it should because most drives are backwards compatible to USB1, just a bit slower...
Good luck!!
