I have my laptop less than a year. Since Monday when I plug any of my 4 USB sticks into any of the USB ports on my laptop I get a message to say that if I insert the stick into a 2.0 port that the transfer rate will be faster.
The thing is all my ports are 2.0 and have been up until this message I got on Monday. Is there someway of setting the ports back to 2.0? Why would this happen anyway? It is taking forever to transfer data at the moment.
Thanks
