[aclug-L] Re: Windows 98se + USB question

[DAVID CARMICHAEL <dec2955@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael -

Sorry to read of your loss of employment!!!!

I know how hard the job market is... after almost two
years of unemployment and only working temp jobs!!
...I was lucky and got hired for a four week temp job
along with twenty others and I was one of seven
offered a full time job and now one of three left
after a year...

... But ...

About the printer driver...

Some how the BIOS setting for USB got turned off...
yet the Windows drivers [other than printer] were
still finding the device...???

Just as an after thought I went to check the BIOS
settings to find that the BIOS setting were DISABLED
and ENABLED.........

So now the printer is working!
