1. It is a hardware issue that can only be solved by buying a USB 2.0 adapter. Cost ya about $25...
2. You can buy additional internal USB hubs in PC World or from lots of sites online - they don't cost too much and I even managed to fit mine myself!!
3. Buy a USB hub, that should solve your problems. Then you can attach multiple USB devices to your computer.
4. You will need to add a USB2 card to a spare slot in your PC, various brands available, some good, some not so good. Most will have 4 or 5 outlets, you can still plug a hub into any or all, to get even more ports. Here's a Belkin 5 port, just plug it in. http://www.anyparts.co.uk/cgi-bin/product.pl?PID=1079120&brand=Belkin&model=usb%20%20pci&part=
5. You need to add a PCI card for it. You can't update 1.1 USB ports. Here's a card for $10 http://www.directron.com/kw2580n.html
