I have an old Toshiba 490CDT with a USB port that won't work - it simply doesn't respond to any USB device connected to it. Previous owner used Win NT which I understand doesn't support USB, but I ran fdisk and formatted the disk and installed ME from scratch. Funny thing is, I can connect a USB 2.0 card into the PCMCIA slot and it works fine - except the machine freezes on shut-down if a USB disc is installed and is not removed prior to shut-down. I would like to have the original USB port working though. No indications of irregular behaviour on the Device Manager.

Check the BIOS and see if the USB port is enabled.

Sorry, forgot that point in my first posting. Yes, BIOS says OK.
