USB Nightmares !

Good evening everyone !

I have an KT3 ultra- ARU (MS-6380E) motherboard and I am running Windows XP Professional. I have a USB2 bracket with 4 ports and and a D Bracket with 2 further USB ports.

Everything seems to be connected properly, but the USB sometimes does not recognize the hardware I attach. The printer and scanner are OK, so is a usb bluetooth dongle, however, when I try to plug anything in the other spaces I keep getting messages about USB surges etc. I also get a message which tells me the printer could run alot faster using a USB2 connection. The printer is already in one of the USB sockets.

I have had a look in the device manager and all the drivers look ok but I could be wrong.

Can someone plaese tell me how I can test my USB ports and make sure that they are running at the correct speed (USB2). Also, why is it coming up as a surge warning when I connect my camera ?.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Ady
