hi...my computer is two years old and has the usual bells
and whistles...i'm using win xp pro...the computer has
usb2.0 but i'm not getting usb2.0 speeds...when i transfer
a 700mb avi file from the computer to a usb external hard
drive it takes 6-8 minutes to complete the transfer(it takes
a matter of seconds on a friends computer)...it takes about
the same amount of time to go back from the external to the
computer...i inserted the Cd that came with the computer so
as to install the
usb2.0 drivers and was told "the latest SiS USB2.0
driver included in service pack 1 has already been installed
on your system,please rescan for hardware changes in device
manager(which i did)...to try to resolve the issue i decided
to install a usb2.0 PCI card...i tried two different cards
and got the following message when installing both
"Cannot install this hardware.There was a problem
installing this hardware Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Controller.An error occured during the installation of this
device.THE SERVICE DATABASE IS LOCKED"
...now i'm not exactly a rookie with using a computer but
this alert is completely new to me...does anyone know what
this means,what could cause it,and exactly what i have to do
to resolve the problem...like how does a person UNLOCK the
service database...i assume if this could be done that the
usb2.0 speeds would be restored and i wouldnt have need for
the usb2.0 pci card...i may also ask if a format and
reinstall of windows would solve the problem...any help
would be most welcome...thanks a bunch...Gary.
