Thanks for your answers Peerless & Bob.

Peerless - Have checked out the info you gave me....
Seems I am USB 2.0 'enabled'....

If I'm being totally honest though - the rest of it was like a foreign language to me....

I get the concept of it all (well kind of ) - but I guess I'm just not confident enough to fiddle about with stuff that I don't *really* understand or know enough about. The last thing I wanna do is muck about with my pc when I don't have sufficient knowledge to know what I'm actually doing....

Obviously I need to look into this subject more comprehensively - but I'm grateful to you for getting me started and on the right track....






Bob - I read what you said - and checked out that 4 Port USB2.0 PCI Card you mentioned....

It's just the opening of my pc that worries me slightly....
Tbh, I wouldn't have the first clue on how to go about it....

Sure, I know how to open my pc.... but 'installing' things - well that's a whole different ball game....

I am though still under warranty.... so if I was to go ahead and buy said item - maybe I could get the engineer to fit it....?
