Thank you Richard for your reply. Maybe I will try that
after I do the switch from this computer to another
computer as I plan on using the old computer for games
when my grandkids visit and the newer computer for my
genealogy and such.

Unfortunately, the answer is almost surely in the BIOS
(hardware)
configuration. The ports are probably disabled there and
that is where
you'll need to re-enable them.

I have a Philips 400Mhz, 256Ram, Windows 98SE. I am not
able to use my USB ports and there is nothing in the
devise manager showing any even exist. I have two USB
ports on the back of my tower as well as a 4-port hub
and
none of the are recognized. My son-in-law says it
sounds
like something in the Bios and I do not want to mess
with
anything there for fear I could really mess things up.
Thanking you in advance for any help you can send my
way.

Edith
