I was trying to set up windows 7 on my custom built PC and the all the USB ports on front panel and on the motherboard would not work. So I shut off the computer and unplugged the power supply to swit

it sounds to me like the wires from the front panel connectors are not connected to the motherboard inside the computer case, open the case up find the front connectors wires inside and find out if there are any connectors on the motherboard to plug them into.
the reason the rear ones work is because they are soldered directly to the motherboard.
good luck.

The hp bios is built so that it requires the front audio and usb connectors to be connected for it to start. Since this case doesn't have it, I would recommended taking the old usb/audio front panel and tucking it away inside the new case. Its not the most elegant solution but what you are trying to accomplish isn't what HP intended for you to do.
If you are worried about looks you can buy a new front panel usb/audio drive bay from newegg.com or tigerdirect.com. Just make sure you check if the audio is ac'97 or HD audio.
Hope this helps.

Run "Windows Update", to see if it will find updated device-drivers for the specific USB hardware on the motherboard.

Access the ASUS web-site, and search for 'P6T', and search for USB device-drivers for Windows 7 -- if none are found, try the device-drivers for Windows Vista.

if you are inserting it in front panel then try using it in other ports at the back if the it still hangs your system try usb stick in other pc....if it works well in other pc then you need to install chipset driver and usb driver....

Because there are so many different case and motherboard combinations sometimes it can be difficult following the instructions for connecting the front panel, USB header and audio header.

Below is a few generic guide that should stop some of the confusion with the labels on the wires.





Front Panel Audio


***Please note this is a generic wiring guide and we can not guarantee it will work with every motherboard. Please check your motherboard manual first. Wiring the headers wrong can cause damage to the motherboard and case, this damage is not covered by the warranty***

this maybe easier to follow

Make sure the HDD jumper is set to master and see whether it helps.
If not the HDD is not recognised by the PC. Also make sure the connections between the HDD and mother board.

· Try a different IDE cable
· Try a different HDD an

All the best!

solution..
1) Check The USB Port for Damaged, Bend Or Broken Pins.
2) Check The Pen Drive For Physical Damage.
3) Try The Pen Drive In another USB Port. (i.e. if u r using the pen drive in the FRONT PANEL USB PORT than try it in BACK PANEL USB PORT)
4) Try The Pen Drive In Another System.
5) Tye Another Pen Drive.
6) If All Above Is Fine Then Format The PEN DRIVE.
7) Try The PEN DRIVE now.
8) Is Issue Still Persists Then..
9) Uninstall the CHIPSET/MOTHERBOARD DRIVER COMPLETELY and then clear %temp% & prefetch files and Restart Your System.
10) Install The Latest CHIPSET/MOTHERBOARD DRIVER and ANY AVAILABLE FIRMWARE for the motherboard..

Check that all the USB ports are turned on in the BIOS setup.

ajayiht22,
If this is the first time you are attempting to use the mic, it must be setup through control panel. Open control panel. Find & open the icon, Sounds and audio decives window will open. Once opened click on the Voice tab. At the bottom of the the window is a button, " Test hardware ". Click it. Follow the instructions from the next few windows. You can not use both front & rear ports at the same time. The ports that work for sound will work for mic once it has been set up.

hi
check on the canon website for updated software to install the utility

often new versions are released and are freely available to download off their site
look for your camera model and check the links to download

some new cameras sold today still dont have the applications shipped with the unit
the website is the best place for the latest versions

otherwise use a third party application to transfer the images
picasa by google does a good job too
