1.1 is the older usb connection. 2.0 is faster and is found all all new laptops and some older laptops and desktops. 2.0 just basically is a faster usb port, and can read more devices compared to the 1.1. you can still use the 1.1 usb port like a 2.0 port but like I said it wont always read or just will read slower. 2.0 is better. You could also find 2.0 usb HUBs that you can plug in to the 2.0 port and have extra ports depending on the HUB, if you choose not to use the 1.1 or 1.0.

Cannot connect my keyboard to my all-in-one IBM desktop. Does it need a specific type of keyboard? The all-in-one was given to me by a friend without the keyboard. I notice the portal where the keyboard is...

It uses a USB Keyboard or a Standard PS2... if you have a USB KB try a different USB Port, shouldnt matter which one. Also PS2 KB ports can go bad. Test with a different KB if you can. The PS2 (purple KB Port) is located on the right side front.

Can't upgrade the USB ports to Version 2.0

Hi cogilbert,
I had a similar problem with my PC which had older version 1 USB. I purchased a USB 2 PCI card with USB Hub, installed and problem solved. It really not a very expensive proposition. The card comes with the necessary software and drivers. It works great.
