No, that isthe version: the first was 1.0, the second is 2.0, and I've read theat 3.0 is out. Ethernet is for a wired connection to a server. There used to be some others, but one of those 5 may be for connecting to a telephone line, and the three IDENTICAL ones would be USB (Version)2.0 Stan B. . . . --- On Thu, 6/11/09, Donald Thompson <hdthomps@pris.ca> wrote: > From: Donald Thompson <hdthomps@pris.ca> > Subject: [COMPUTERS] USB Ports > To: computers@rootsweb.com > Date: Thursday, June 11, 2009, 12:11 AM > My HP computer with Vista has two USB > ports on the front and they are marked > USB 2.0.

Personally, I would turn off System Restore. it causes more problems and confusions than it is worth. If you turn it off, it will delete all past restore points and free up valuable space on your hard drive. It is much better to be vigilant about what is put on your system and scan, scan, scan !!! I am a computer professional and have never even come close to needing System Restore. My 2 cents ! Regards, Kevin.

Go to Start, Control panel and then Power Options. On a XP system, on the Power Schemes change the both monitor drives and System standby to NEVER. On the Hibernate tab, remove the check mark on "Enable Hibernation" and OK yourself out. On a Vista machine, Start, Control panel, System Maintenance and then Power Options. On which ever plan you are using, select "Change Plan setting". Set display to Never Put computer to sleep to Never Save Changes. On the Advance tab Set Hard drive to never USB devices to Disable And you may want to look at all of the other options and see if they may apply to your system. Now OK yourself out.

Hi Chris I have been away from the computer and I've now come back, and from what I can see it's a spanner at the bottom of my screen and it says "Belkin Wireless G USB network adapter can perform faster if plugged into a HI-Speed Port" but it then disappears in a few seconds and I can't bring it up again?? Tried to mail you "off list" but got failure notice??
