Operating system XP SP2 fully patched and virus free.

I attached a Camlink USB 2.0 card reader onto a USB 2 port and XP did its 'thing' and auto installed the drivers, but with errors and a warning that this device may not work properly. It is working, in the sense that I can transfer files from camera cards OK, but only in USB 1 mode. When I plug the Camlink in I get the 'this device can work faster....' warning. (I know it's a USB 2 port as it works fine with other USB 2 peripherals).

My questions are these.

Am I stuck with using this device as USB 1?

How can I uninstall/re-install it to try again?

What services should I check and what state should they be in to ensure a USB device gets installed correctly?

Fixed.

I uninstalled each drive via device manager & tried again - no joy. Then I had a brain wave & repeated the uninstall and then tried again with a known working cable. No issues.

Obviously a bad cable.

So where did I put that receipt?
