        Usually these types of boards require the USB port to be enabled in the
BIOS, have you done this? Aside from this you must use an OS that supports
USB, Win98 is the only really reliable one (win95B does but it's support is
not that great). If both of these pieces are present, does your board manual
specifically say it supports USB? It is possible the header is there but the
circuitry is not. I hope this helped, TTYL
