USB Ports not working

Posted: 04-13-2007, 11:08 AM
Okay, I had a linux computer, but i upgraded it to vista home basic. Now I
try to plug in my usb wireless adapter, and nothing happened. No lights,
nothing. I tried with my usb pen, to see if that worked. I tried it in all
the ports. Nothing. I checked the BIOS, and set it to recognise plug and play
devices. Still nothing.

Is there something I am missing?

Why did you get rid of a working operating system? This same question
applies to anyone that gave up Windows 2000 or XP for Vista.

After you installed Vista, did you then install all the drivers for your
hardware? If not, you need to do this.

Hey, hope someone can help me....

I have installed vista on my laptop, re-installed the utilities for th
motherboard, but when I try and use the usb ports they do not pick u
any of my portable devices, e.g: my usb modem, I plug it in and th
light flashes(proving the power is coming through) yet the autopla
doesn't start or the new hardware found icon does not pop up. Unde
device manager there is no universal serial bus under devices, any hel
would be greatly appreciated
