Hi,
I'm running windows 98se on an old NCR computer and while it has 2 USB ports the computer says I don't have any USB anything. I got an mp3 player and it powers up when you plug it into either of the USB ports (like it's supposed to) but it is not rercognized as new hardware and when I search for new hardware it can't find it. Is this just a driver problem or the hardware(USB ports not working)? Help my mp3 player is crying out for attention. Thanks.

Hi,
Some BIOSes have an option to enable/disable USB function. So, check in the BIOS and enable USB, if you find it there. (To go to BIOS, press DELETE key when system is started. Also, make sure not to change any other options if you dont know what they do!)
