Re: running windows xp

The problem here is that your post is not clear about what your real problem
is. Your statement "there is
nothing plugged into the usb ports, they have their own ports..." makes no
sense. Your statement "i go into the device manager, and nothing
shows up "universal serial bus controller" or anything like that" also
makes no sense.

So what is the problem? Do the USB ports on your system work? Is the
installation of the operating system stable and working? Is the operating
system currently installed the one you want, or not?
