Hello,
I have tried both a Startech and a Freecom USB 3.0 ExpressCard in my laptop but with both products the result is the same - message as above.
I have checked the power to the cards, I have tried several different cables, I have checked and updated the drivers, and the Windows 7 64-bit Device Manager shows the USB 3.0 as working properly, under each of "USB 3.0 Host Controller" and "USB 3.0 Root Hub".
I have tried ths ExpressCards with a USB 3.0 WD "My Book Essential", a USB 3.0 Lexar CF card reader, and a USB 3.0 32GB flash disc. The result is the same with a these devices - they operate at USB 2.0 speeds and the message in the title bar appears.
Any further advice would be welcomed.

Thanks for the reply, but I have no idea what software utility you might be referring to - please advise. There is certainly no mention of any such utility in the (scant) user manuals supplied by Startech or FreeCom with their ExpressCards.
Cheers.
