What Operating System are you trying to get this to work on?

1).. Have you checked your USB is actually switched on in your Computers BIOS? (The BIOS can be accessed when you first switch on your computer and tells you to press either:

F1 for Set-up

F2 for set-up

Del for set-up

2).. Have you had a look in your Windows Device manager (Right click my computer icon and then select properties etc.. for any USB devices that show a yellow ! next to the name in the device list?

3).. If no.1 is okay do you know if the USB ports work in the first place?
