i may be wrong but i cant remember if its win95 or 98 that needs a service pack install before USB ports can be used.

That was 95. 98 has native USB support.
If she has 98 First Edition, you may have to download the USB service pack from Microsoft.com.
Came with the USB ports installed so it's likely '98SE, but all that's moot, I think the ports are fucked.
That's no big deal, USB 1.1 internal cards can be had for $20 bucks these days, that's typically what I recommend to my customers who have shot USB ports.
All I can say is that I fucking hate Compaqs. I enable the USB and I get a video card problem in return. WTF! I need to start drinking.
that doesnt mean much. i had a 95 machine that shipped with usb ports (could see them in the system and all) but they didnt work because 95 didnt suport them. like andy said you may need the latest SP.Quote:

Actually it's looking like it isn't SE, but again all that's moot cus I can't get her network IP to switch over to allow her on my network to get the SP and I don't feel like reformatting. She went out and bought a new PC last night, this one is going to her mothers.
well what if her mom wants to use a usb item....huh, huh!? :D
she can reformat the thing her damn self
