I have Windows NT 4 and have 2 USB ports. I can not install the USB because the add hardware function is missing from the control panel so is the device hardware. I am not very familiar with WinNT 4. I'm sure it's hidden somewhere. I can plug into the USB port and my light on the external device responds. Any help appreciated.

Welcome Idocker1.

Unfortunately I think you're first question isn't going to have a good end.

NT does not support USB and I've never found anything that will make it do so.

I would be very interested if anyone else has found anything though.:)

Jabberwocky is correct, NT does not support USB. Windows 2000 does support it.
The lights coming on mean you have good hardware but not the OS to support it.
:(

Please run, don't walk to the computer store or get a copy on line. Upgrade to Windows 2000. You will be amazed at the performance increase you will get with Win2K over WinNT.

I am presently using a P-III 667 with 128MB ram. It cam with NT, but I was shocked when I upgraded to Win2K. The performance increrase was easily 20%. One caveat. You may have to flash your bios. Please check with the pc-manufacturer or the webisite of your mobo manufacturer.

You'll get USB and increased speed.

I did once find third party software that allowed NT to use USB ports but it was expensive and I now seem to have lost the link.:rolleyes:
