While the following techniques apply mostly to Win 9x, some of the concepts (such as the BIOS Settings) may also help resolve issues in Win XP. This info is offered as a courtesy on an AS IS basis and VTB makes no warranties and bears no responsibility for issues that may result for your use of this info. ******************************************************************************
USB Connectivity Requirements: To achieve proper USB connectivity six basic system elements must be present and working correctly. 1) Support from the BIOS 2) Support from the Operating System 3) Physical USB ports 4) A USB Device 5) The correct USB cable for the device 6) Drivers either from the OS and/or the peripheral maker
***************************** Does my Computer Support USB? There are two programs available to check if your system is USB ready. Although, neither of these programs is a guarantee that your computer will provide trouble-free USB, both provide good indications of capability.
***************************** Identify the USB Host Controller: All USB host controllers are NOT created equal. You should identify the USB host controller type so that you will know how to proceed if you have problems. For a "How To", go here: Host Controller PCI / USB - How to identify - Win9X http://www.usbman.com/Guides/HowTo_Identify_HostController.htm
***************************** Cleanup the Device Manager / Windows Safe Mode: From initial installation problems to suddenly not working USB, cleaning up the Device Manager in Safe mode is the first step in Win9X troubleshooting. Many hardware related problems in Windows can be traced to ghost and/or duplicate device entries. Obsolete and/or duplicate devices can ONLY be seen and removed from the Device Manager while in Windows Safe Mode. For a good "How To", see here: Clean-up Device Manager in SAFE MODE - Win9X: http://www.usbman.com/Guides/Cleanup%20Device%20Manager%20Safe%20Mode.htm
***************************** BIOS: Common BIOS Problems: Many USB Problems are the result of improper settings in the BIOS. To achieve proper USB connectivity the BIOS needs to be a properly working partner.
BIOS: Enable USB in the BIOS: USB is often disabled by Default in the BIOS. To enable USB in the BIOS one or more of the following statements must be true.
BIOS: USB Keyboard - DOS or Enabled (Even if you have NO USB Keyboard) Legacy USB Support - Enabled and/or Assign IRQ for USB - Enabled (Some combinations of OS and BIOS version require this setting to be Disabled). If there are NO references to USB in the BIOS setup, your BIOS Version Needs To Be Updated.
BIOS: The BIOS version does NOT support USB: Vintage 1996-97 motherboards, even those with USB pinouts (AT Style) almost always require a BIOS update to achieve proper USB connectivity. Generally, a BIOS date of June 1998 or newer is required for Win9x systems. A BIOS date of October 1999 or newer is usually required for systems running Windows 2000. New Operating Systems require new BIOS revisions.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a way to connect peripheral devices to computers. It replaces the functionality of serial and parallel ports, including keyboard and mouse ports.
USB uses a bus topology, which means peripherals can be daisy-chained together or connected through hubs. Up to 127 devices may be connected together at one time, and devices may be connected and disconnected while the computer is in operation (hot-swapping).
To use USB peripherals, your computer must have either built-in USB capability or a USB expansion card installed. Your computer\'s operating system must be able to support USB as well.
USB devices are self-identifying, and USB is Plug-and-Play compliant, which means that installation and configuration of USB devices should be relatively easy. The current standard, USB 2.0, is backwards compatible with the earlier 1.0 and 1.1 standards. USB 2.0 supports bandwidths of 1.5Mbps, 12.5Mbps, and 480Mbps.
Peripherals that make use of USB connections include digital audio devices, telephony devices, cable boxes, printers, keyboards, mice, joysticks, digital cameras, and scanners.
We carry 4 USB Extender Cables all of which function for both data and power.
