just bought high speed usb2 hub which connects to a usb 1 on my lap top. Message comes up that a high speed usb device is connected to a low speed usb port and will require a high speed usb controler to be installed. What do I do about this? I bought the usb 2 hub thinking I was upgrading the hub on my laptop!

Did the hub come with a CD? Drivers should be on that.

A USB2 hub will not upgrade a USB1 controller.

ham30 agree it wont upgrade the usb 1. But I think he just wants more USB ports myself.

Backwards Compatibility with Existing USB Devices You can keep your existing, slower USB 1.x equipment until you're ready to upgrade. The hub is backwards-compatible, offering perfect set-up and operation to any USB peripheral. It even works when plugged into computers with USB 1.1 ports; however, it will only transmit 1.1 speeds to the HUB. While the hub won't magically speed up the transfer, it easily works with older and new USB devices simultaneously! If you upgrade the computer to one with 2.0 support, the hub just needs to plug in to switch over to the faster speed
So it will work. The question is why wont it.
