Re: slow );
 

A couple of possible things although they are a bit of a stretch!

Which USB port do you have the adaptor plugged into? Is it a USB1.1 port or USB2? The easiest way to tell is to remove the adaptor and put a memory stick in - if a message comes up beside the clock in the bottom right-hand corner telling you "this device can perform faster" then it's USB1.1 - if your PC has any USB2 sockets (where you won't get that message with a memory stick) is the performance any better with the adaptor in there.

Also, are you using a rear USB socket? Does the PC have a USB socket on the front and if so, is performance any better in there?
