is there a program that will /or can

From what I've seen if you have one USB 2.0 port the rest should be as well (if they are all on-board that is) My motherboard has USB 2.0 ports but USB 2.0 is not enabled out of the box, I need to install the proper drivers (shiped with the motherboard on the chipset drivers install CD as a separate installer from the rest of the automated driver installation) to obtain 2.0 functionality.

It's been a long time so i can't remember but there was a certain requirement i had to meet before the installer would allow me to install the drivers, it was either "Windows XP Service Pack 2" or "1.1 .NET framework" Logic leads me to believe it was Service Pack 2.

The users guide for your computer or motherboard should detail what type of USB ports you have and if any are USB 2.

If you get the notice that your device may run faster in a USB 2.0 port, Windows can search and tell you if any of your ports are USB 2.0

Typically, all on-board USB ports are the same speed.

If you do not have USB 2.0 ports, the best way to get them is to install an add-on USB controller card.
