Great! But now I've run into another problem. My USB tower is not
detected. It is installed, I can see it under the Control Panel, but
none of the programs can find it.
I've tried plugging it into different USB ports, I've tried the new
setup routine of RIS, but nothing seems to work. Other devices I plug
into the ports are recognised (wireless mouse, USB keyboard)
Can anyone please help me out?
Regards,
linmix
