When I plug something into my USB port, nothing happens
I bought a usb floppy drive but when I plug it into the computer, nothing happens. I plugged into it into another computer and windows recognized it and everything worked fine. I have a Hewlett Packard and I looked into the device manager and it says I have to USB controllers installed so I dont understand why nothing happens when I plug the drive in. Any suggestions? I have windows 2000 and the floppy drive is a smartdisk.
Thanks, Bigron |

Do you have any other USB devices you can plug into the HP and see if they work?
Worst case scenario is a physically dead USB port(s)... if you really need 'em, you can buy a card which has the newer USB 2.0... for more info, check out: http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;242062 Good luck :-) |
