Upgrading from USB 1.0 to USB 2.0 on a PC with XP

Using Presario 5420US with XP, for some dedicated purposes, with USB devices. Keep getting the message that downloads wou;ld be faster with USB 2.0 -- evidently the PC has 1.0 only.   Does upgrading to 2.0 involve a change in hardware? are host controllers hardware devices (chips on motherboard) or software drivers? Or both?  I have been trying to research this, and have read dozens of items on many websites -- and still have not come up with the answer.... Can that XP computer be upgraded (by me)?
Thanks for your help.
This question was solved.

Hi:
You posted in the notebook forum.  The model number indicates you have a desktop PC, correct?
If so, you need a PCI card with USB 2.0 ports. According to the PC specs for your machine, you have one free PCI slot with which to install such a card.
Below is a link to a website that sells these adapters.  You can read the feedback and get the model that most suits your needs.

The card should come with drivers. If it doesn't that means it should automatically be detected and installed.
Make sure you get one that states it works with XP.

  • Can you upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with upgrade?

    Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Final Cut Pro 3 to Final Cut Pro Sudio 2 with $699 upgrade?
    I purchased Final Cut Pro 2 years back and then purchased the Final Cut Pro 3 upgrade. I have not used it in years, but now I want to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 2. Is this possible by just purchasing the upgrade?

    Apple's web page has the requirements:
    http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/BizCustom?qprm=78313&productLearnMo re=MA886Z/A
    The $699.00 upgrade version requires a valid serial number from a commercial version of Final Cut Studio, Production Suite, or Final Cut Pro 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Academic and not-for-resale versions are not eligible for this upgrade.

  • Upgraded from iMac to MBP - now USB & Firewire hubs don't work

    Hi there,
    I've just upgraded from a 2008 C2D 20" iMac to a new 2011 13" MBP i5. I'm running Pro Tools 8LE via a Digi 003 rack & have a Command8 plus other USB/FW400 devices in my set up. I've always used both a USB hub & a FW400 hub to connect everything to the iMac (daisy chaining causes some instability issues / track restriction in Pro Tools).
    Now however, the MBP doesn't see any devices connected via the hubs. If I connect directly & daisy chain the devices, they work. I have the USB hub connected to the MBP with a FW800-FW400 cable.
    Any idea what's causing this? Here's links to both hubs... they have been working fine with this setup for 3 years:

    http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=196166
    Thanks

    I had the same problem with my desktop Mac, and resolved the hub situation by following two suggestions: (1) daisy-chaining the devices (which you're already doing) and (2) reset the hub. For the latter, pull out your devices/hubs, reboot your MBP, and put the devices/hub in. This resets the hubs so you can use them again.
    It also might help if you make sure you've plugged in the wall outlet; this increases the power available to your devices.
    I'd be very interested if these fixes work.

  • Upgrade from APEX 3.0.0 to 3.1.0 causes problems with applications

    Hello everyone,
    We have recently upgraded our dev environment from APEX 3.0.0 to 3.1.0. The upgrade went through sucessfully, but the applications that were developed in 3.0.0 are not functioning in this upgraded dev environment. When I run the pages, it loads it with show edit links enabled, buttons dont function (postback) and the page shows an error of object expected. What seems to be the issue? What would alleviate it?
    Any help is greatly appretiated :D
    Regards,
    Luis

    Thank you for your quick reply.
    It pointed us in the right direction. I ran Fiddler debugger on the problematic webpage and confirmed that the applications from 3.0 are looking for the new javascript libraries but in the old images directory

    I noticed the pages that were working in the new environment found these files in the /i31/ folder.

  • Upgrade from LV2010 to LV2011 causes USB Error-1172

    Hello NI world,
    I'm a newbie to LabVIEW, and hope I might find some info on my issue.
    I have a VI that takes a sequence of binary digits, creates an array, and sends the sequence out on USB.  This works in LV2010.  Last night I upgraded to LV2011, and the system reports an error: "Error 1172 occurred at Error creating instance of Form1 in assembly..." (see attached document for complete error message, and a piece of the flow.)  I thought it might be due to obsolete .NET software, so I updated .NET to v4, with no change in behavior.
    I adopted this code from another engineer, who is now off on new adventures.  Now that I've mucked with it in LV2011, I can't open it in LV2010.
    It appears the files in question are 'usbGenericHidCommunications.dll' and 'WFF Generic HID Demo 3.dll'
    My Setup: PC, Windows-XP (SP3), LV2010 and now LV2011, .NET Framework 3.5 and 4
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks,
    Duman

    to be able to use .net 4 you should add a special file to the labview.exe folder.
    Maybe that one is not in place
    it is called LabVIEW.exe.config
    and the contents is below this line
    <?xml version ="1.0"?>
    <configuration>
    <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">

  • Upgrade from SAP R/3 4.7 to SAP ECC 6.0 with PSCD and TFA

    Hello!
    I have to upgrade an SAP R/3 4.7 to SAP ECC 6.0.
    We have SAP FI/CO, PSM, IM, FI-AA, PS, with PSCD (FI-CA) as well the special taxes component TFA.
    Is there some special procedures for the the Upgrade with this components (PSCD and TFA)?
    Is there some documentation for the special Uograde procedure as well the normal procedure?
    We use Windows with Oracle.
    Can some one

    PSCD is in ERP a Business function set - see 957295 - PSCD: Renaming PUBLIC_SERVICES business function set, the upgrade should automatically take care that activation.
    Is TFA the tax extension for Ireland? If yes, then the same should be true here.

  • I just upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5 and having trouble with Mail search.

    I used to be able to search through my Notes that were set up in my mail.app and now I can't. Is that feature now unavailable?

    Restart the computer, when you hear the start up tone choose the Recovery Partition and open Disk Utility and run Repair Disk Permissions at least 2x on the internal HD. While you are there run Repair Disk at least 2x too. Then restart the computer in Safe Mode to clear some caches. Once you have done the Safe Mode restart then restart normally and test. If you have still lost all your data you can restore from your Time Machine or Bootable Clone backup.

  • Just upgraded from a PC to a iMAC, will the PC code work with the Mac to install PSE12 ?

    I will be picking up my new iMAC tomorrow and would like to know if the serial number from my PC version of PSE 12 will work with the iMac ??  I am the original owner of PSE 12
    and I'd hate waste more money on something that I don't have to do... and i really can't afford to buy the new version of PSE...
    Please let me know ASAP.....
    thanks,

    It depends on the type of your purchase.  If you bought the boxed version then it must have come with medias for PCs as well as MACs.  If this is so then YES your serial number will work with either systems.
    If, however, you bought a download version from Adobe website, or your boxed version did not come with both medias then the answer is NO.  the serial in this case won't work with MAC version.
    Hope this clarifies the current situation as known to us here.
    Good luck.

  • Upgrade from  the scratch

    Hi,
    I need help with following situation.
    I have fully configured and runnng Mac OS X 10.5.4 and i want to have Snow Leopard, I would rather to do clear installation (not upgrade from currently installed OS).
    If i will only reinstall it with Snow Leopard it will be ok but i will lost all photos and music, so i plan to do backup to external USB disk using timemachine.
    How can i restore photos and music to new Snow Leopard,I'm afraid that i will lost categorization of photos in iphoto,music and applications in itunes.Are there some basic steps what to do before i will do this kind of upgrade with itunes?

    Hi,
    If you use Time Machine to backup your computer, then, after installing Snow Leopard, you will have the option to restore your files, your applications and your configuration from Time Machine. You won't loose any categorization in iPhoto or iTunes.
    It was my first time doing a clean install on a Mac, and I was very surprised after the installation and the Time Machine restore: My Mac with Snow Leopard has the same configuration and the same files (with the same categorization) as I had in Leopard.
    Time Machine is an excellent backup solution.

  • Stored Scripts are gone after upgrade from 1.5 to 2.0

    Upgraded from 1.5 to 2.0 and there are now problems with the "SQL Scripts" in SQL Workshop:
    1. SQL scripts appear to have gone missing - over 200 from one workspace. I checked the WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ table in 2.0 and they are not in there.
    2. All the scripts have a long number added to the start of the name, and sometimes the SQL extension has a "1" added as well.
    ie. 2100803509045739_CreateAuthFunction.sql1 (should be CreateAuthFunction.sql). Again checked WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ table and they are stored as .sql1
    3. Some Control Scripts are there but the contents appear to have changed - this may be because they're no longer needed - not sure.
    I saw a thread with a similar issue that suggested clearing IE temp files but this does not help. Any help appreciated.

    Hi gurus,
    I was trying to simulate a trip in pr05. the err "err while initiating travel form" prompt up while initiating. This err only occurs after our ecc upgrade from 5.0 to 6.0. Before it was fine with Standard Travel Form.
    Does anyone of you know what's the problem? Any help you would provide will be highly appreciated!
    Rgs, Michelle

    Hello Michelle,
    There is already a possibility to use the HTML form for Travel
    Request and Travel Plan BUT is only possible after you apply the       
    Support Package 09 for EA-HR (SAPKGPHD09).                                                                               
    In table TA20SWITCH you can use the Attribute HTMLFORM_R_P and there   
    define an entry "X".                                                                               
    This functionality is ONLY delivered with Support Package 09.
