USB 2.0 support with WIN XP

I have just bought a via based MAXXTRO USB 2.0 PCI CARD. Plugged in, powered PC. Win XP recognized the card and automatically installed drivers without notice. So I checked the hardware set up and realised to my surprise that the card was recognized as USB 1.0.
I have MSI 845 Ultra -C, Amibios 1.5, P4 2.4 GHz, Win XP SP1a, latest via driver download. I wonder if the MOBO supports USB 2.0 at all?
Or is it just some issue arround the MOBO USB 1.0 controllers messing up with the PCI USB 2.0?
Please help

Yes, I have mentioned it.
To sum up:
PC: P4 2.4GHz,
 MSI 845 ULTRA -C, Amibios 1.5, newest available drivers
 512 MB , 333Mhz RAM,
USB 2.0 PCI CARD (MAXXTRO, via based),
Win XP Professional, SP 1a
the USB hardware set up states I have VIA USB host controller, rev 5 or later , but in the artcle at:
http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=3&faq=13&Search=USB+2.0
they suggest it reffers to USB 1.0 spec. not to USB 2.0
It might be an issue of the MoBo, or WIN XP. But  this is where my knowledge ends.
Self advise:
first I have to make sure, the motherboard supports the USB 2.0 ( do you know?)
second I will check with Microsoft (there is an update patch available, did not help)
third I susspect the bulid in USB 1.0 host controllers (?) in the MoBo might interfere with the new card and the USB 2.0 is recognised as USB 1.0, Should I desable USB 1.0 somehow?
What should I do?

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen doesnt work on usb charger but on dock it says "Charging is not supported with this device" How do I fix it?

    I'm taking it in to get it looked at but will they cover this? And is there a way to fix it before I take it in. I'm still under the 1 year warranty plan. My friend said that they might exchange it. It's a 64GB and I use it for a lot of things like my picture, music, contacts, and email. It's got scratches on the back but other wise its ok the screen isn't cracked or scratched.
    I have a usb charger for it but when I plug it into the PC or my wall charger it won't charge. It just says  "Charging is not supported with this device". It even says that sometimes when it's not charging. But it works on a dock station like my clock or radio.
    Also my home buttom won't work unless I press down real hard. This scares me because I'm afraid I wil persss it too hard and break it even more.
    Please help.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why does the usb cord my ipod came with say not supported with this accesorie

    i plugged my ipod into my computer and a yellow triangle popped up with a exclaimation mark in it and said below it charging is not supported with this accesorie.

    Jamie,
    Could be that your USB cable is damaged somehow.  Try using a different cable if at all possible.
    Otherwise, check your iPod's connector port on the bottom and make sure it is clear of debris such as lent, etc.  Use a can of compressed air to help blow it out.  Also, look for any broken or bent pints that could cause this error message to appear.

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • E3000 shows "USB is not supported" error with External Harddrive

    I have the E3000 router and recently purchased a USB WD (Western Digital) 2TB External Harddrive.  I plug the Harddrive into the router, open the router homepage (http://192.168.1.1/) then click on Storage > Disk and I get a "The attached USB is not supported" error - any suggestions on how to fix this?
    Thanks for any help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Likely Final Update:  WD Support sent me a link to download / install SmartWare and solve the problem I was having with the SmartWare software ("Drive Settings" was greyed out).  Once I got SmartWare back up and running I was able to change the "Drive Settings" within SmartWare.  As the last update suggested, I modified the sleep timer settings and security (password settings) and tested to get the following results:
    Sleep Timer on / Password protection on:  E3000 shows "USB not supported"
    Sleep Timer off / Password protection on:  E3000 shows "USB not supported"
    Sleep Timer on / Password protection off:  WD Hard Drive seen and seems to function properly when connected to E3000
    Sleep Timer off / Password protection off:  WD Hard Drive seen and seems to function properly when connected to E3000
    So (other than maybe some inital problems with the WD SmartWare) it appears the "USB is not supported" error is due to the Password protection being turned on for the External Hard Drive.  This point should be highlighted in the Western Hard Drive materials but I don't see it anywhere on the box or in the manual (maybe its fine print in the manual).  Cisco and / or Western Digital are screwing us by not allowing password protection (or making this point known) on at this least model of Hard Drive!
    Thanks again to everyone that helped with troubleshooting this!  

  • Charging not supported with this accessory shows up on my iPad. The cable seems to be broken at the connector. Could it be that I need a new USB cable?

    Yes, but should be covered under the warranty of your device (or any device under warranty using that cable) just bring it into the store.

  • I have a laptop running Win 7 Pro, can I setup a dualboot with Win XP

    My laptop is running Win 7 Pro (32-bit) but I have a Iomega Zip 100 drive which has not been supported since Win XP. I have numerous discs with content I would like to access and put onto CD. Can I set up a dualboot system with Win 7 and Win XP without
    affecting my current data?

    The first thing you need to do is verify that there are Windows XP chipset and device drivers for your laptop. If there are none then XP may not function properly, no mouse, keyboard, video, USB ports may no work and more.
    If there are drivers then read the following:

  • Error message charging is not supported with this accessory

    I have an iPhone 3GS from Jul 2009. Fully updated. I normally charge it using a USB port on my MacBook Pro so it also syncs at the same time. This week began getting an alert on my phone which said "charging is not supported with this accessory". I resolved initially by unplugging/replugging the cord. In all cases the phone had been charging for some time before the alert appeared. In most cases the phone was sitting on the same surface as the macbook and had not been moved since beginning charge.
    The only support document I can find refers to firewire and does not apply to my device.
    Since starting this week it is happening more frequently and may require being re-connected several times.
    It is still intermittent issue but I depend on my phone.
    Thank you for your assistance

    I just found some on eBay for about 1.99 each with free shipping and ordered about 6 of them from the seller, I think they came from China so it takes a couple weeks. So far I never got a bad cable, but if you do use eBay please check their feedback to make sure they have a history of delivering quality cables and working cables. Always pay using PayPal if possible so you don't lose your money. There are online sites like Meritline and such that have cheaper cables for direct sales with PayPal checkout and free shipping.
    I use the 6' cable in the car, so I don't have figure where to put the iPhone or iPod when plugged into the stereo and it is helpful to have them when trying to charge when the plug is being a dresser or something when I travel.
    I also like the retractable cables ($0.99)
    I also have the Scosche FlipSYNC Keychain cable too, a bit expensive, but you always have a cable with you just in case.

    Thank you!
    Looks a bit like one of my own systems, so it is thus near perfection. However, I don't have a SoundBlaster any longer, and I don't have two floppy drives. Is the IDE configuration working flawlessly?
    While waiting for the PSU figures I'd like to take half a step in a funny direction. Perhaps it can do some good to someone sometime, though I'm not sure it will be so for you.
    What device do you put in the USB port? Is it flash drive, card reader or some other storage unit? Then you could try this I read in PCPro:
    How to force a drive letter onto the device (WindowsXP I believe)
    Go to Start | All programs | Administrative tools and select Computer managment. Then select Disk managment, found in Storage area. Right click the drive and 'Choose drive letters...' from the pop-up menu. Of course you need to select an ununsed drive letter.
    In same way works a BIOS trick to choose 'Assign IRQ for USB' in BIOS. But I'm not sure it works with our AMI versions.

    my graphics card is Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller, and maybe should install a module for it works with wine.
    The window where you start all options configuration appears to me, but when I go to Play THPS4! showed me the error. The version of my wine is wine-1.1.8. I don't know if I have to install any shape or form over any other option in winecfg.
    thanks

    Can you try it on a desktop comp using arch and wine instead?  Maybe it's a graphics problem?  Anyway, I've checked the min req. and it's quite low..
    Please check this site if your game is supported or if ever you want to play another game in the future.

  • Problem with Wine, NVidia and fullscreen games

    Hi,
    I'm writing about a problem i recently noticed with wine, nvidia gpu and fullscreen 2d games.Basically the problem is as follows - i am running arch with the latest kernel and nvidia drivers on Thinkpad T61 with NVidia Quadro NVS 140M. I have a problem with old 2d games like Red Alert 2, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Diablo 2, Heroes 3. All of these games do not support the native 1440x900 resolution of my screen and all of them work fine in window mode but crash if fullscreen is selected. I managed to get some of them working by making them work at higher resolutions. For example although Red Alert 2 does not support 1440x900, it can be easily made to work at that resolution and after i applied the necessary settings it worked. The same was with Heroes 3 - by default it does not support 1440x900 and it used to work only i window mode but there is a HD mod which allows it to run in higher resolutions and after i applied it it worked perfectly in fullscreen. I haven't thested Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale but i think it will work there too.
    The problem is that i cannot use this approach to all games - for example i must run Diablo 2 and Starcraft in their original resolutions. I read somewhere that the problem is that wine can only change between the resolutions described in the xorg.conf file and if doesn't find the necessary resolution the game will crash or will only take the portion of the screen that is its resolution - for example when i play Starcraft rather than stretching it to the whole screen it simply takes 640x480 pixels of my screen and the game is displayed in the top left corner of the screen leaving everything else black.
    I didn't have this problem before - it is something new though i'm not sure since when do i have the problem because i rarely play games. As for the idea that the problem may be related to the resolutions defined in the Xorg.conf file, my xorg.conf is automatically generated by the nvidia installer and there are no resolutions defined there.

    Try nvidia 304.48
    I remember that issue, with the 302 series.
    I have Nvidia 304.48 installed and the problem still exists (it also happens with Catalyst). This didn't occur with 295.59 using the same version of Wine.

  • Why does Auto Tone button in Quick Develop panel fail with Win 7 platform?

    I have been a user of Photoshop since the inception of Photoshop CS.  I recently purchased a subscription to Photoshop CC, which comes with Photoshop Lightroom 5.
    I have never used Lightroom, so I purchased the Kindle version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, CLASSROOM IN A BOOK.  I have this eBook installed on the same Windows 7 PC that I have Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 installed on.
    I ran into a problem in a section of the first chapter titled “Using Quick Develop in the Library module.”  This section, in part, instructs how to quickly improve the color tonal balance of an image.
    After selecting the required image from the sample images for this lesson, I found the histogram in my Lightroom 5 Loupe view to be the same as the lesson’s photo illustration for this original image.  As described in the lesson, the photo did not have a balanced tonal distribution.
    I followed the lesson’s instruction:  “4. In the Quick Develop panel, watch the tone distribution curve shift in the Histogram panel as you click the Auto Tone button.  Although the automatic adjustment hasn’t done a perfect job with this particular photo, there is substantial improvement; a lot of image detail has been recovered from the overexposed hair and face and there is more depth in the mid-tones. The contrast, however, remains unimpressive, and the darker areas still look flat.”  (See Adobe Creative Team [2013-08-06]. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5: Classroom in a Book [Kindle Locations 1024-1026]. Pearson Education. Kindle Edition.)
    This is where I ran into a problem.  After clicking on the Auto Tone Button in the Quick Develop panel, my results were completely different than what was described and shown in the Histogram displayed in the lesson.  Instead, in my Lightroom 5, clicking the Lightroom Auto Tone button has increased the exposure, making it even more over exposed than the original image!  Therefore continuing to follow the instructions in the lesson was a waste of time, since my Auto Tone results were so totally out of sync from that of the lesson.
    This disturbed me, so I decided to open the same sample image in Photoshop CC, Camera RAW 8.2.  Camera RAW provides an Auto Button which improves exposure and color tonal balance to an image.  The results were exactly the same as the Auto Tone functionality in the Quick Develop panel in Lightroom 5.  I couldn't understand why the lesson instructor's results were so positive and mine were so disastrous.  Then it hit me!  I discovered that the lesson writer of this Adobe Classroom in a Book was using Lightroom 5 on a MAC computer.  I could tell by looking at his lesson images.  Just to be sure, I tried this lesson scenario on a different PC with Win 7, Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5.  I got the same failed results.
    I’ve heard from other professionals that Photoshop and Lightroom software only work properly on Apple computers.  I’ve always thought that this was a myth, but have infrequently experienced a good result using the Auto button feature in Photoshop Camera Raw on a Windows PC platform, so I don’t use it often.
    What really has me frustrated is the fact that Adobe no longer has a direct way to report software defects to their tech support or process improvement  teams.  Their online bug reporting process is woefully inadequate.  I've tried twice to create a support ticket on the Adobe site, only to have my case withdrawn mysteriously.  I've tried their online chat, telephone support, and sent emails with image attachments to the address provided by their agent on the telephone.  My email goes unanswered and my open cases somehow get closed.
    Any ideas on how to get this issue addressed by Adobe are sincerely appreciated.

    Adobe tries to improve the Auto Tone function from time-to-time.  I used to completely underexpose an image that had a few bright spots such as car headlights turned on in an otherwise properly exposed image.  This is probably what you’re seeing, LR now guessing brighter more of the time, and it might change, again, in a future version so don’t be too concerned.  
    As others have said, Auto Tone works on some images and not on others, and Adobe can only try to make it work better on more images by changing how it works on all images.  For the lesson example, the author purposely used an image that was improved with auto-tone that LR did at the time of authorship.   You will never have a picture exactly like the lesson’s example, either, so it’s not that important if the lesson is 100% accurate for future versions of LR, just that the general idea that some pictures are improved in certain ways by Auto Tone will still be applicable, and you’ll need to learn, by trial and error, what to do when Auto Tone doesn’t work well or the image needs further adjustment.  That is the important lesson, what to do with your own pictures.
    You can reset a particular slider after a bad Auto Tone by double clicking on that slider.  The Exposure slider is the one I reset most often. 
    You can also LR set the Auto Tone value for just one slider by holding down the Shift key and double clicking on that one slider.  I do this a lot for the Blacks slider to set the black point, without messing up everything else.

  • A P Elements 3 no longer works with win 7

    A P Elements 3 no longer works with win 7, crashes when I click on preferences and no sound works in editor. So I want to upgrade but not seeing any dates with newer editions. Whats the oldest I can go to work with win 7 64 bit? Like maybe APE 10? Or maybe there is an update to fix 3?

    dfishead
    I have Premiere Elements 4 through 13 on Windows 7 64 bit, and all are working fine.
    You really do not want Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card.
    And, 13/13.1 does  not support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or OSX 10.7.
    Do check System Requirement as well as computer resources.
    How far are you getting with the Premiere Elements 3 install on Windows 7 64 bit? Depending on the answer to that question, have you been installing the 3.0.2 Update
    after the 3 install?
    Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.2 update
    Have you right clicked the desktop icon for the program, if you got that far, and selected Run As Administrator?
    When you are trying to get Premiere Elements 3 on Windows 7 64 bit, are you at least doing that by ignoring the "not compatible" messages and moving onward through
    the installation dialogs as long as it will let you?
    Please review and then let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.
