USB 'bits'
« on: September 03, 2004, 12:41:50 PM »
HI

Don't understand why but anything I attach to PC via USB cable (scanner, printer etc) isn't being recognised under XP.
Any ideas?

Cheers

The USB port may not be enabled or your USB drivers require updating.

Universal Serial Bus information and troubleshooting
