Not recognizing USB device
Hi,
I am having problems with Windows and USB. You see, I recently purchased a laptop, and have upgraded the operating system from Windows XP Home to Professional. I have four USB ports on my laptops, but when I try connecting a device to either one of them, Windows does not recignize it at all, I have tried connecting a USB mouse, memory cards, and other USB devices, but Windows doesn't do anything. Is there somewhere I can enable Windows to detect USB devices? Help will be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Not recognizing USB device
Hello Jenny,
Chances are windows just needs an updates driver for your USB ports. Some how they might not have transferred over from Winsome. You can find them on one of the CD's that came with you computer. Or you will have to go to the Manufactures web site. -- ----------------------------------------- Michael Ortega "Jenny" wrote in message ... Hi, I am having problems with Windows and USB.

Hi Jenny
Try, also looking at the BIOS settings. See if the BIOS settings say anything about USB being enabled. Some motherboards specify this.
