Ditto. NT does not support USB. You'll have to go with WIN98, WIN ME, or move up to WIN2K series OS's for that. TJ

Brian -

NT4.0 does not support USB "natively" as supplied by Microsoft. However, there are several companies that have written USB drivers for NT4. Use them at your own risk (and $$$).

To get Microsoft-supplied USB support, you need to use one of the Win9X-based OSes (included ME) or Win2K.

Good luck.
