EXPLANATION:
This message indicates that Windows recognises that a USB 2.0 device (the Epson device, e.g. printer/scanner/All-In-One/Photoviewer) is connected to a USB 1.1 port. The message is not an error. You can close the message by clicking the

Windows XP SP1 does not have USB 2.0 support by default. Windows XP SP2 and later does have USB 2.0 support by default. If your computer has USB 2.0 controllers on-board or installed, you will have to manually install the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed drivers via Device Manager, starting with the USB host controller.
