My acer travelmate 2300 is running on Win XP and the USB ports are not working please help what do i need
What has changed most recently? did they work before? May be disabled in bios, need more info.
Do you have the original operating system on cd or dvd?
Which operating system was it and what is it now? Vista?
This is most likely a driver issue. If you need to re-install, pop in the cdrom and follow the steps for the install, the cd player may have to be set in bios as bootable, likely you are ok there.
"Press any key to boot from cdrom" when powering up and follow the steps to complete install, a recovery cd that may have come with the computer would be ideal if you have one. I would try to install without a format if possible, you may be able to recover your data, if you don't care, do a format, you are still going to need the drivers for all of the hardware, video will work but at standard vga 640x480x 16 colors, a lot of common hardware is already supported by XP, that should get yopu up and running, don't be shy. go for it, you cannot hurt it anymore, right?
