    Hi, i have a pc with two usb 1.0 ports and i have a memory card reader that works with a usb 2.0 port.
    I tried to use this card reader but windows xp pro tell me I can't because the rate transfer is lower and the only option it gave me is to stop the card.
    is there a way around this?, or my only choice is to buy a usb 2.0 isa card?
    thank you

    the little message is only windows warning you that it's going to be really slow. it should work either way. the stopping the card option is just a feature of windows so you can unplug a device safely; it has nothing to do with the functionality of the usb card (well, except to make it inoperable:p)

    go ahead and plug it in again, and go to windows explorer and find the new drive letter pointing to the card:)
