USB 2.0 XP Driver Download
-
I lost track of the original driver discs for my machine. After I reloaded XP I only have USB 1.1. When went to Microsoft update site to update it to USB 2.0 (successfully). The Microsoft site did this by scanning my system and did the update automatically. There seems to have no way for me to install that driver manually. I want to archive the USB 2.0 driver for XP on my machine, say save it to a CD. However, I don't know how I can download it from Microsoft site. Any ideas? Thanks!

USB2 drivers are included with WinXP Sp2. So there are basically no manufacturer that bothers with making special drivers for USB2.

What I don't understand is I reinstalled XP, then put SP2 and SP3 on it. Both SP2 and SP3 were downloaded from microsoft.com. After that when I plugged a flash drive to the USB port I got the message: This USB device can perform faster if you connect it to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. For a list of available ports, click here. This message appeared in a ballon box popped up from the system tray area. After I put the update from Microsoft on, the message no longer appears. Why the SP2 that I installed does not contain the USB 2.0 driver?

Just a hunch: maybe the updater told you you had to reboot the system and you didn't? :)

You don't need to install SP2 if you're going to install SP3. Microsoft servicepacks are incremental. Other than that I really don't have an answer. Sorry.

Regarding SP2 and SP3: I did install SP3 first, believing that it contains SP2. However, for some reason SP3 could not be successfully installed. The error message told me that SP2 had to be installed first (which is contrary to what I thought). That's why I installed SP2, then SP3. I have USB2 working. I just wanted to save a copy of the driver so later if it happens again, I just need to pull out the archive to install the driver, instead of relying on a network connection and the availability of the driver somewhere in Microsoft's web site. Not a big deal. Thanks for your help.

I would call that cumulative. incremental to me means you have to do them in sequence. :)

That means that the driver is installed and working. USB may be optimized for quick removal (in which case Windows doesn't cache much) or optimized for performance (and then Windows will cache some, but corrupts your drive if you yank it out while reading). Default setting is "quick removal". You're getting a hint from Windows that the current setting is not ideal. Your USB device can perform faster - just as it says in the balloon.
