USB problems. ???
If your USB interface is integral with the motherboard (i.e. not a USB - PCI
card) it *may* be caused by a loose or misplaced header connector on the motherboard. Visual inspection of the connector to confirm that it is properly seated may be all that is required. If your USB device is recognised and works OK on one port but not on the other, then this certainly sounds symptomatic. However, it is also quite possible to damage (beyond repair) a USB port - which could equally explain the problems you are having and can be caused by simply mis-placing the USB plug (e.g. upside-down) in the USB port - and, although that can require some force to implement, it is certainly possible - believe me!! - Some 'cheaper' brands of plugs (and sockets) sadly, are not exactly foolproof. If the port is damaged beyond repair, one option would be to connect a multi-port hub to the good port or even to fit a USB - PCI card (preferably USB2.0 - the increase in speed is vastly worthwhile) This little MS tool might not help in your particular case, but none the less is a very useful tool worth checking-out. If you have a copy of the Win98 CD, then see the following URL and try the usbview.exe on the CD. (NB It's not on the WinME CD - but see below) "How to Use the Windows 98 USB Device Viewer Utility" http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;272584 You can download usbview.exe from: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/services/tec...SE/USBVIEW.EXE HTH and good luck Mart "M Youssif" wrote in message ...
