I'm on a Thinkpad T40 which I know should have USB2.0, yet any time I try to use my Flash Drive it says, "This device could perform faster... if you connected to a USB 2.0 port" which it should already be in.

Sheesh, yes they are 2.0. The worked in the past, just don't now for no apparent reason, and when I delete the hardware and re-install the drivers, it says I have four root hubs on the computer, and that three are 1.1 and one is 2.0. If I had to guess, the third and fourth coorespond to the USB capability one can get from the docking station, yet the first and second are on my computer. They should all be the same (2.0), thus three are clearly malfunctioning or not being read by the hardware properly. Any good ideas from the peanut gallery?

Usually, only one USB port on a laptop is 2.0 compliant, you have to find out which one it is. Also, if you are putting anything between the USB port on the computer and the USB drive, like an external HUB, make sure that IT is 2.0 compliant. Plugging a 1.1 HUB into 2.0 port makes it all run at 1.1, thus anything you connect that is 2.0 will bring up that message.
Lastly, go into the device manager and look to see in USB devices if there is a USB 2.0 driver listed there, if not then contact the laptop manufacturer to see if they can help you get it back.

You need to update the hardware drivers for the USB ports. Try visiting the manufacturer website for available updates.

You sure you do? My mom's PC says that and it only has USB 1.1. If Windows has 1.1 drivers for the same device, no reason they wouldn't have 2.0 drivers for it.There may also be USB 1.1-2.0 settings in the bios to enable, but chances are, that shouldn't have to be messed with.

Try reinstalling the drivers from IBM. I have a thinkpad R51, but haven't had this problem yet. Check their website.
