It could be that despite the apparent new "scan" of the system while using
the profiler, it still bases the results on what was installed when the
system was first sold?

There are quiet a few apps out there that give you a humongous amount of
information on a system. Aida32, which has a free version, is a good one
that I have used.

Thanks for all of the input. I went to execute the profiler and this is
what I got:

" We're sorry. The operating system or browser you are using is not
supported at this time. We may support your platform in future releases
based on demand. "

I just tried Aida32 and it gives more information than you ever wanted
to know. But there is something about it which still leaves some doubt
in my mind. Net, net, the results lead me to believe that my USB is 1.1
on the desktop. I have not yet run the program on my laptop.
