OT: USB Utility Needed

I'm looking for a Windows XP compatible Utility that will list all the USB devices attached to a system, show their power requirements, and indicate what USB speed they are running at, and what standard they are attached at (i.e. USB 1.1, 2.0 Full Speed, 2.0 High Speed), etc... First time Google has ever let me down. The Windows Device Manager is WORTHLESS for auditing USB devices. I've been working on computers for 23 years and I'll be damned if I can make heads or tails out of the USB section in the Windows Device Manager. It's a jumbled mess. Thanks! Larry

there is a program called USBVIEW. it does not do all you want but does some of it. I do not run WinXP, but Microsoft used to have this on Win98 CD in Tools\Reskit\Diagnose I assume they would keep these type of utilities, or probably improved versions, on the newer operating systems CD too.

Yes, I remember that one but I didn't think it ran under XP/2K. What the heck. I'll dig out the old Win98 CD and see what happens :) Larry "Leeds1000" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aKJqa.637845$F1.85624@sccrnsc04... > there is a program called USBVIEW. it does not do all you want but doessome

I'm having terrible conflicts between a Xerox USB laser printer and a Canon USB 2.0 scanner. They simply don't work when connected to my PC at the same time - even when connected to separate (powered!) USB hubs... grrrr...
