USB speed changing
I thought this had been solved, but it's still a problem.
I have an external hard drive where I store all my photos. My system is Windows 7, 64 bit.
When I plug in my USB external hard drive I get this message:
"This USB device can perform faster if you connect it to a HI speed USB 2.0 port."
As I read somewhere, I went into Device Manager to update the driver. It said, "... best software already installed".
At first, the external hard drive runs very slowly (photos take a long time to load), but if I simply un-plug it then plug it back into the very same USB port, it now works normally. Then, a second "USB Mass Storage Device" appears in Device Mgr.
I've done this numerous times, so it's not just a one-shot thing.
Q. Any ideas about how to fix this?
Here is a screen shot of my Device Mgr. that might help.
