Install SP2 (or SP1) to get USB 2.0 drivers (or install the
drivers that came on the CD with the board).

Yes, USB 2.0 support is built in to Windows XP with SP1 or SP2. My scanner
works well with them.

But I have an add-on card from Adaptec that has three USB 2.0 ports and 2
firewire ports. When the Adapted USB 2.0 drivers are installed, and the
scanner is connected to this port, the scanner performs much more sprightly,
or so it seems.

Thanks for all who responded to my queries. I believe the cause came from
my USB 2.0 2.5" hard disk that draws too much current. As per USB port
spec, each port can deliver 500 mA max. and most of 2.5" hard disk for
notebook consumes about 600 mA so when I connect it to the port, it jumps up
and down and then connects successfully. My USB 2.0 card is also
strange/clever that it will switch it to USB 1.1 port on the mother board.
Thus, the error message comes on. Does the latest USB 2.0 port supply
higher current than early board? Alternatively, is there any 2.5" hard disk
consumes less than 500 mA?

Thanks,

Ray
