Default USB Ports - Turning On

Hi,

I'm running Windows 98 (ver 4.10.1998). While I have
USB ports in the back of the PC, I have only recently
tried to use them with a digital camera. I notice when I
right click on My Computer / Properties / Device Manager
that no USB is identified.

My question and assumption is, I may not be running 2nd
Edition Windows 98, but would like to try and get the USB
to work. Can someone help me?

Thanks,
Dave

Are the ports activated in BIOS setup? A machine originally delivered with
W98 would probably have the USB ports turned off. Access BIOS setup and make
sure they are active.
