What OS are you using? If it's Win95, I'd suggest upgrading to Win98. It should handle the USB connectivity better. There's probabyl a patch file you have to run if you have Win95. It should've come with your computer.

You say it crashed. I assume that means you had to re-install the OS?

Does Device Manager show your USB ports as operational and having the correct drivers?

David thanks for the hints, I am running win 98 and I did have to re-install everything and that's when I have started with this problem. Everything was great until then.
