USB Issue (very slow transfer)

The Wonder — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:20:04 +0800

I am using Toshiba Satellite M100 laptop purchased on Feb 2007.
When I connect a hi-speed usb 2.0 device (a card reader with a CF card inserted) into the usb hub, it pop up this :

Then when I click it, it says :

This is what I got from my computer properties under "hardware".

The files transfer rate is so slow. I was using another type of card reader previously on the same laptop with no problem (fast transfer).
What has gone wrong? Pls help

My little compilation :

Processor - Dell [C2D T5600 - 1.83]
Ram and hdd - Par
LCD display - Dunno which one better [glossy display considered minus point]
Optical drive - Dunno which one better
Graphic card - Dell [X1400 256 MB - 128 bits]
Speaker - Dunno
Bluetooth & WiFi - Par
Operating System - HP [Vista Home Premium]

Service - Dell [I guess - whats the major different?]
Built Quality - Dunno
Hardware ventilation [cooler better] - Dunno [this one really need experienced user to give some input]
Battery performance - Dunno which will last longer considered both were 6 cells batt pack.
Design - HP [slimmer and elegance finishing]
Weight - HP [lighter the better]

Laptop will mostly used for office application [outlook, photoshop & networking], MP3 via laptop speaker, movie via laptop or TV output, sometimes gaming [racing and WC3] and lastly surfing.

Arghh......... Pening liaw
