USB's won't work on emachine T1842

Usb's won't work on a T1842, all have power and I have checked all connection and downloaded drivers, device manager says that usb's are working. There are 2 in front and 4 in back. In the back is the ethernet connection with 2 of the USB's and it works. The machine is old but I want it for my grandchildren so they can play on line. The one problem that does show in the device manager is that there is a problem with the soundcard (Reatek) I do have a usb thing that I can plug in so they can get on the internet but without the usbs working I can't do that. Do they make 20 feet ethernet cords.

As for the 20 ft Ethernet cords, they don't make them that long but, you can buy extensions that will elongate the original cord to your specification. The usb problem you are having is due to driver failure. you will need to update these drivers using the windows update tool or, you can go to the computers main manufactures website for these critical updates as well. hope that helps ya.

E525 usb port working

Go to ACER on the internet and download the current drivers for your computer. Device drivers can also be updated from the Control panel/Device Manager, Highlight the DM and look at the list of devices. Select the lower area USB section and one line may stand out indicating the faulty USB connection. Click on the line and use the option check for Driver and see if it finds the appropriate driver to fix the problem.

Setting up the emachine for the first time and keyboard won't work. checked all connections.....???

Is the keyboard a USB Keyboard or PS/2... If it is a USB keyboard try plugging it into a front USB port and see if it works. If it does you might have a lose usb cable going to the back of the computer.

My old keyboard exchanged for the new one, does not work

You should not need any additional hardware - but you may have to install a driver (software).

If you just bought the keyboard it should have come with an installeation disc. If you don't have that you can go to the following Logitech website and peform the auto scan function (your new keyboard should be attached via USB cable.

This scan will detect the keyboard and tell you if you need any additional drivers installed.
