Thanks Bob and Peerless for your replies....

Will look into all your suggestions and advice over the weekend....

Your help and input is very much appreciated!

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....?
