    My computer motherboard has 1 (double) usb 1.1 plug in on it and it claims to have 2 (double) usb 2 plug ins on it. Now my computer will only recognize one of the (double) usb 2 plug ins. What can i do to get the other one functional

    try looking around in the BIOS, i think there is something in there that may solve your problem.

    The Bios does not allow me to do anything with USB. Unless om in the wrong place, but not likely. Is there another way to access it.
