iPod and USB 2.0

I have an iPod on a PC via USB port. Computer reccognizes iPod OK as mass storage device, but I get a "hi speed device plugged into non hi speed hub" error. Hence downloads are at USB1 speeds and not USB2.
I have brand new iPod with newer HP523n. Same error on all 4 USB port locations.

Is this a driver issue? I have all the latest XP updates installed

Welcome to Windrivers Cadworks

The $64,000 question is, does your motherboard have usb2 ports?

If they are usb 1.1 then no driver will correct that problem.

I am 99% sure the machine has 4 USB 2 ports. Cant find my documentation

What motherboard make and model?
