hey its weird i've got 4 USB sockets 2 in the back and 2 in the front and windows only detects 2 at a time .. like at the moment i've got a mouse and keyboard plugged at the front and i want my printer and camera at the back but everytime i try to connect it with the mouse and keyboard already plugged in it says cannot regonize but..... if i unplugg say the mouse and plug in the printer at the front it would work and vica versa

if that made sense please help me
and i've already considered gettting a USB hub but i dont wanna if i could UNPLUG the 2 usb sockets

Sure its not just a problem with the usb ports in the back?

BIOS may only have 2 USB ports set?

Insufficient power?

on some computers that have the usb ports in the front and the back, the ports on the front are just an extension of the ones in the back so you would only actually have two usb ports, that may be your case, just get you a usb hub.

What does it tell you when you click on them ? Enabled? Working properly?
