    When i put a usb stick in a usb port i get a popup at the bottom saying this device will preform faster if i cinnect it to 2,0 (or something like that) then about 3-4 min later it will load the usb so i can use it?before i reformatted this pc running xp it never took this long for the pc to load a usb ,is there a way to get this to load a pen drive faster??

    That error is telling you the port is using an earlier version of USB.

    Why did you reformat? That should always be a last resort as you lose everything - including your drivers. Did you reload all the motherboard drivers after you reformatted?

    Right. As I noted above, it thinks you are connecting to a slower USB 1.0 port.

    And note no errors in device manager does not mean you have the current drivers.
