I’m using a nec versa p520

If you don’t have the software/drivers for usb 2.0 you should google, download and install it.
But if your hardware only supports usb 1.0, downloading new drivers wont speed things up.

hello ASYN
how can I test if my hardware supports usb2
Thanks for your quick reply ??? ???
it does support USB 2.0 >>> http://www.nec-driver.com/nec-driver/NEC-Versa-P520-FP520-Driver_420.html
you shouldn’t need to install any additional software, the drivers you need are in XP pro. If the file transfer is too slow, you got a hardware issue may be, your laptop is really old

t’as lu mon post ???
pardon LOGOS
but what should i download !!! MERCI BEAUCOUP
I don’t think downloading new drivers would solve your issue, as, again, XP integrates USB 2.0 drivers … you got XP SP3 right? (IIRC, not quite sure but I think support for USB 2.0 must have started with SP1).
if you don’t have SP3, get it either through Windows Update or here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5B33B5A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4&displaylang=en
mais oui so maybe should I try to reinstall again ???
no if you already got SP3 installed no need to reinstall it will be a waste of time. I think your hardware (CPU/RAM) is probably responsible for the slow transfer rate. There’s not much you can do about it.
as to USB 2.0 support, it must have in fact started with SP2, not clear. You can read this if you want to:

No, just update your OS to XP3, if not already done.
merci , thank you , tusen takk ?
