Where can I get a freeware HI-SPEED USB host controller download?

I have a digital camera and it tells me that it would perform better with a
HI-SPEED USB 2.0 port so where can I get that driver please? All I get are
"go to windows update" and that does nothing! google it and all i get are ads
and more ads. Can someone please tell me how I can get a HI-SPEED USB 2.0
driver that I can download.
You guidance would be appreciated. lol

How old is your machine?

What OS are you running?

You haven't passed the XP IQ test as required by law to get definitive
answers as yet.

Hello

What you need to do is know what chipset is on your motherboard like Via,
Intel... then go to the makers site of the motherboard, type in the
motherboard model number & download the correct driver for it

Via for example do a 4 in 1 driver & Intel have updated inf files...

Via site is http://www.via.com.tw/en/index.jsp, click on support...

Hi,

First of all, do you know for sure, your PC has USB 2.0?
XP, loads the USB controller for USB 2.0
(If the chipset drivers for the motherboard have been installled)
What is the Make & Model of your PC?

It's not a driver issue, but one of does your motherboard provide an
"Enhanced" controller. This is how XP identifies USB 2 hardware.
Click Start, Run (Type) DevMgmt.Msc [Enter]
Expand the Universal Serial Bus Controllers category. If you don't
see a Enhanced controller but only Universal then your PC doesn't
provide USB 2 ( High Speed ) capability. If that's the case you can
add a PCI style USB-2 controller card to the machine. Most cards
are very inexpensive. USB 2 peripherals will work with older 1-1.1
USB ports but at a less than optimal speed.

What makes you think you have passed the IQ test?

You failed with spoofing your e-mail

Why are you asking about the age of the machine & OS when they are
motherboard drivers needed?

You have failed the IQ test on both accounts

Maybe the user has USB 1.1 & not USB 2.0, but other than that what is your
point?

You likely need hardware - not just a software driver.

I want to thank you all nut I think Shenan may have hit the nail on the head.
I went to octek, useless then to intel and got the driver but nothing has
changed.
For your guys edification I am running and Intel Pentiun 4 on an Octek Rhino
i-850 motherboard, 6 yers old and lacks much that modern PCs have, poor
thing. USB 2.0 was unknown back then I think.

Go to a computer store, buy a PCI slot USB2.0/Firewire combination card,
install it and you will have what you need.

Now... If only you mentioned this in the first post. The 850 chipset was
great, but there was no such thing as USB 2.0 at the time. The 850 brings
bach sweet memories though. I had an Asus P4T-M Socket 423 motherboard with
256MB of RD RAM. That was way back in 2001-2 I guess. RD RAM of course is
now defunct. That's the PC I fooled around the most with. I learnt
services, permissions and fooled with unattended and slipstreamed SP1 cds
(SP1 BTW included the USB 2.0 support out of the box). :-) I got that
computer to boot in 17s using Bootvis (still the best start up tuner), post
some huge service clean-up and defrag. This is something that I've never
achieved with much faster PCs after that. Those were the good ole days when
I had time and Windows was not as bloated as it is now. That was the most
stable PC I've ever had. 8-)
