USB port problem...? - joeb Hey, I have an IBM NetVista 8305-PCU. It has XP Pro, 512 MB of RAM, a 2.24Ghz CPU. It came with no OS preloaded, so I got XP pro and installed it. at first, the Audio driver didn't work, and the Monitor was set at VGA res with 256 colors. It didn't show any other settings in the control panel. The ethernet didn't work either. I went to the IBM (now lenovo) support site and found the driver downloads that were closest to what I needed, and got the onboard graphics to work, as well as the audio card. I installed a different ethernet card. now I have the computer wirelessly networked by way of a USB adapter, and have found that out of the computer's 6 USB ports, only one works at a time. they all work, just not together. If I have something plugged into one, the others don't work, and vice versa. It's really annoying, I have looked through all the downloadable drivers on the web site, but I can't find one. I thought maybe it was a power problem or something? Help!

Best Answer: The whole series of those models are faulty unfortunately. I recently had similar customers complains and I should reassemble their computers. The cheapest way would be: To change the motherboard(that's what I did in my cases) with the proper graphics and sound on card. ASROCK is very good and cheap= £37.00 - leojkstudio

Try using a USB hub, which plugs into the computer and feeds into other USB ports. Need more help? Talk to me at this link. http://www.skype.com/go/joinskypeprime?call&skypename=Campadrenalin - campadrenalin
