The others are at the back and I have not tried using them. Thanks for the suggestion I will have a go. I did not know about extension cables, I will ask at my local computer shop. If this turns out to be the problem it will be very annoying. Surely it is obvious that the from USB port is the one that everyone will use. That means it is the one above all that should be set up properly. Anyway I will let you all know if that solves the problem Thanks Neil Winchurst -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
