| 48425 | 2002-05-12 03:49:00 | I am having some difficulty installing a new printer to a USB port but USB is not enabled. I tried a different approach and tried a USB driver installation disk and got the following message - Your computer has a USB controller but it is currently disabled. To enable a disabled USB controller run your computers BIOS setup programme. I have Windows 98. I have looked for a BIOS programme but can't find one.Can someone tell me how to run the BIOS setup programme. I also posted earlier under 'USB enabling.'Help very much appreciated. Thanks. | Guest (0) | ||

That is your BIOS(CMOS) setup program, tread carefully but not too carefull you can always load defaults. BIOS is the first thing you PC looks to, so it knows what it is, and what its here for. There are all sorts of settings in here which will make your PC boot quicker as well (ie Quick POST enabled so it doesn't take so long to count the ram and IDE detection so it doesn't need to find out what hard drive you have every time it starts, AUTO) Look through all menus until you see 'USB - disabled' press enter or page up/down or something it should say it on the screen somewhere, how to adjust. Then exit and save settings (to CMOS). |
