The USB ports are NOT working since the cable guy tried to connect the modem directly with a USB cable.
There may be help forthcoming locally tomorrow. I think Im going to crawl into bed with some munchies and my pusscat and watch turner classic movies until I fall asleep. ann ======= If you have a card on your machine supporting USB ports, it may just have wiggled loose. Loose cards can be the cause of all kinds of problems, they have to be seated very well. Most USB ports are hooked into the motherboard, but not all. This is something that is easily discovered, BTW. So, yes, get a techie friend in to look it over. All may not be lost. :-) And, yes, it would also be good if you got a new machine with XP on it. You probably could hook both up to the same monitor. If you don't buy a new monitor, just the machine, it can be really cheap. Or relatively cheap.
