Hi Richard - firstly, sincere apologise for not supplying enough info in my
first post - I can understand your frustration! It's a Sony Vaio Notebook
running XP, fully service packed to the latest SP2. There are 3 built in USB
ports which are all USB 1. No additional 'cards'.
Please excuse my ignorance but how do I 'turn on "legacy" USB support in the
bios' ?
Your help is very much appreciated - Thanks...
