I have a HP Laptop with 2 USB1s. I bought a pcmcia slot device that gives me 2 USB2.0 ports. (question 1) does that disable my original USB1 ports? (question 2) It gives me 2 ports, how come my printer, or camera dont always work with it? I have to constantly unplug the power cords and restart my computer! (question 3) How can you tell the difference in the cable between a USB 1 vs. USB 2? (question 4) I added a USB2 4 port hub, yet when I attach the camera, printer, and cable internet, they dont all work at the same time. Both the slot device and hub are plugged in to a wall outlet. Why are these all so difficult to have working?

1. it shouldn't.
2. the connection to your computer might not be very good. where do these port plug in to?
3. you can't tell the difference between them just by the cord or looking at the port, it says some place on the computer.
4. i wish i could tell you, don;t know. maybe you need drivers for them, did it come with a CD?
