We are trying to use a usb 2.0 device on a computer that runs on the dreadful windows ME, we get a message that says it does not detect a current high speed usb connection, if it does support 2.0 where can i get a driver for it?

USB 1.1 or 2 has to do with your computer's motherboard IO (In\Out) controllers.... NOT Windows ME, etc...
The good news is, you can buy a USB 2 (high speed) PCI controller very cheap.
The link below has 5 USB ports for only $8.00

USB 2.0 is the latest USB standard with speeds up to 480 megabits per second. Older computers may have USB 1.1 with speeds up to 12 Mbps. Therefore, the main difference is the speed of the connection. Mixing cables and ports can be done, but it will be at the slower of these maximum speeds.
Open Device Manager (click Start, Control Panel. Double-click System (in Classic view). Select the Hardware tab. Then click the Device Manager button). Check under “Universal Serial Bus controllers.” If you see the word Enhanced, your computer can handle USB 2.0.

Yes, Windows ME supports USB 2.0, but your USB PCI Card, may not be a USB 2.0 card. You should update the USB card.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure it's only compatible with XP.
Check out USB.org for more info.
