Windows 7 PROBLEM with USB 3.0 PART TWO - Continuing Quest
Consider: USB Mass Storage Device Drivers used in WIN XP, 7, 8
PLATFORMS Tested:
Dell Dimension 4550 3.06 Ghz P4 HT enabled
Dell Dimension 4500 2.80 Ghz P4
ADDONICS Host Controller 2-Port USB 3.0 PCI Controller
WD My Book Essential 1130 2TB USB 3.0/2.0 external drive
Transcend JF700 USB 3.0 16GB flashdrive
Operating Systems:
Windows XP SP3 with NECEL-USB3-Host-Driver-10170-setup - works flawlessly
01/07/2001 5.1.2600.0 (USB 2.0 / 3.0 - only one encountered)

Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
RENESAS-USB3-Host-Driver-21281-setup - problematic
21/06/2006 6.1.7600 16385
21/06/2006 6.1.7601 17577 (USB 2.0 / 3.0 - best chance for connection)
21/06/2006 6.1.7601 17586
Compared to XP and WIN 8, this seems to be a little confused...
Anything from 1 to 10 re-installations of USB 3.0 driver required for connection to take effect
Once achieved, connection is solid, can backup etc BUT lost on restart - [Definitely NOT USB 2.0 performance, tested]
Windows 8 Consumer Preview
with Renesas USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0096 (Microsoft)
21/06/2006 6.2.8250.0 (USB 2.0 / 3.0 - only one encountered)
This driver is Native to WIN 8, when uninstalled , RE-installed automatically with 'Scan for Hardware Changes' or Restart
Anything from 0 to 6 re-installations of USB 3.0 driver required for connection to take effect
Once achieved, connection is solid, can backup etc BUT lost on restart - [Definitely NOT USB 2.0 performance, tested]

Step 5
An alternative method for the Microsoft Windows environment is to click on the 'Start' button and select the 'Control Panel' option.
Step 6
Click on the 'Performance and Maintenance' category and select the 'System' option. This will open the System Properties window.
Step 7
Choose the 'Hardware' tab and click the 'Device Manage' button. In the Device Manager window, expand the option for the Universal Serial Bus category.
Step 8
Select the USB Root hub entry and click on the 'Enable' icon on the toolbar at the upper part of the Device Manager window. Click on the 'File' menu and select 'Exit'.
