I have another USB port in the back of the computer that works. when I attached the flash DRIVE to it all the pictures on the card are uploaded. . I don't load pictures from the camera with a USB cable. The USB ports that are not functional are located in the front of the computer.If the front ports are not working and the back ports are, I think it's safe to assume that you have somehow shorted out the front USB Ports LIKE Dias De Verano said.It must have been when I TRIED to transfer pictures from the cell phone. I am going to have a self-powered USB installed, I guess that's the only way I can utilize the pictures from the phone. Thanks again for all your input. I would be lost without out this forum.
No problem.

Just a side note, you can get a USB Hub (something that plugs into ONE USB port and it gives you an extra 4-8 ports).

Good luck.If I get this hub, won't useing it (with it's four ports) cause the only USB I have left on the computer, to overload as well? I only plan to use one device at a TIME, but after this fiasco with the cell phone, I'm hesitant.There is a possibility. Quote from: janey9 on June 24, 2008, 08:48:15 AM
