Recently I got a digital camera, Im having problems
viewing the pictures. My pc says the USB port is turned
off in the BIOS. Can anyone help explain how to turn this
on?!!!!
In the devices manager it says my USB's are enabled but
HELP says they are turned off in the BIOS.
A friend gave me my Pc with XP professional installed, he
got it from work so I dont have the user manual.
HELP says I must use the BIOS set up utility installed on
my PC.
I shall be most grateful for any advice offered.
 
Depending on your computer brand, Figure out what key to
press before the Windows XP boot screen comes up. IBM uses
F1 key, Dell's use Del key. You could check the
manufacturer's website for a PDF manual. You might get a
screen message at initial start up for what key to use.
You could have a problem with your USB depending what
chipset your computer has. Definitly check the bios first
to see if it is disabled and move on from there. There are
many USB issues out there!!
