    There should no longer be any problems if you upgrade from SP2 to 3. However if you are getting message popping up saying something along the lines of "This device requires USB 2 ports to function correctly". That has nothing to do with the SP version of windows. That's a physical limitation of the USB port you are trying to use. Many external flash drives and printers either require or nag you to run on USB2 ports. If you have multiple sets of USB ports on your computer it's not uncommon, on older machines, to have a mix of USB 1.1 and USB 2 ports. So try a different set of ports if you have them available.

    I was leaning towards Wookie but it very well may be troll.

    My first thought was Troll, but apparently he knows/is known by a couple people here. Leads me to think he's speaking Firebat (now there's a reference for some old school IC members).

    I could say your computer is too old for Windows XP SP3 since the monitor was built 3 years before XP came out (so I assume the computer is also that old), but I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say.

    hi danball i supose i should have started another debate but after relplying to kykst and having it wiped twice and then having trouble with password keeps deisapering when i signe in ,still dose i got angry and my spelling became worse than usual
    i have actully two computer problems
    one is no drive for usb computer wont regonise anything usb has even told me i need a high speed host controller
    i have checked it out on the root hub and i got 500 amps to share between the tow ports and computer keeps saying i am overloading it but i tick a box and the buble whent away dose not seem to de doing any damage fingers crossed
    i am on windows service pack 3 i wish i wernt
    tryed to add service pack one fix for usb to 3 but of course you cant i could get an update from windows only not sure about the os on it so would rather leave them out of it i think my problem is drivers or should i say the lack of them
    second problem dead laptop read robert hollock post on this site well impressive eight steps well i failed around bfg scan first time and could get no futher the second time only faild at the begining atrib
    again no proper os but i nearly got the laptop up and going with windows 2000 pro but failed as no end user agreement
    i have two hard drives one should have xp pro on it press r to fix when i tryed robert hollocks method somthing did change my xp pro os became defult os on screen f8
    hope thats a little clearer
    regards colin

    Trying to add a fix for SP1 is irrelevant since service packs are cumulative. The fix that you're trying is already incorporated into SP3. Chances are if your PC was manufactured in 1998 it doesn't have USB 2.0 ports. If you're using an external hub, does it come with an external power source? That could be the cause of the power sag.

    Also, every modern browser has a spell check built in. I suggest you use it. We're trying to help you but your posts are very difficult to follow.

    I think using full stops and having two threads for two problems would make it easier to understand.
