Go into Device Manager in Control Panel and see if you have anything listed there that states USB, like USB controller etc.

 

I went into Control Panel - System - Device Manager
there nothing listed for USB (which is odd because I have used the usb port in the past - I have had a mouse and a printer hooked up to it before)

For USB to work you it must be listed in Device Manager.

Go into the Bios and make sure it's enabled there to begin with.

To enter the Bios, as you first reboot it will tell you in white writing on the bottom of the screen to press del (delete) to enter Bios. Del is the most common, but it will tell you what it is. You need to tap it repeatedly. If it , you didn't press it enough or quickly enough.

Don't change anything in there. Just see if USB is enabled and listed.

 

I could not enter BIOS from starting the computer. I know what your talking about - I used to get a screen that said something like press del to enter setup - I do not get that now. I get a screen that says finished updating configuration and then it goes to windows me logo screan and then shows my desktop ---
I did go to find file and did a search for BIOS from there I opened the file BIOSINFO in c:\windows\inf
(I noticed infront of some USB stuff IGNORE was typed before USB
below is what was listed there

Does this help any????

 

No, that file is just a driver setup information file, that's all and has nothing to do with this.

As I said, you need to enter the Bios to establish whether the USB port/s are enabled or not.

The most common keys to press to enter the Bios are del (delete), Esc, F1, F2, but there are many others and some in combination.

The reason that it's not telling you which key to press is more than likely that someone has disabled that message in the Bios.

The most common for IBM is F1, so tap that repeatedly right after it's booting.

Also, in Device Manager, do you have any errors, and do you have any other USB devices hooked up that work?
