USB Connection

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hey All

I just purchased an ANTEC enclosure for my PC. I was able to switch
everything over without any major problems. The one problem I am having is
getting the front panel USB ports to work. I connected the wire to the
internal USB header but when I plug a USB device a message saying " UNKOWN
USB DEVICE". I'm not sure if this is an issue with the new tower,my
Motherboard or with WIN XP. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to
get it working?

the computer case has two USB ports on the front. I connected the wire from
them to my MB.

Then learn what a "USB header" is and you won't make such a silly reply in
the future.
