USB Ports not working
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? |

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. |

Is there something I am missing? After you installed Vista, did you then install all the drivers for your hardware? If not, you need to do this.
