USB Ports

There are 2 extra usb headers at the front of my pc, wires from them, to a plug of some sort - I guess. What do I need to activate them?

Your mainboard may have extra USB "headers" (two rows of 4 or 5 metal pins) to which you can attach the front panel USB connectors. See your mainboard manual for the location of these.

That's what I mean J2, book says i got 2 header pins and 2 usb sockets are already at front, apparently wired but they don't react when I plug cables in so what more do I need? [don't want to poke around inside till I get a little advice. :-)

You may have to enable them in the BIOS or the wires are plugged onto the mainboard incorrectly (very easy to do).

Thanx J2. Will read bios and peek my motherboard. Soon. I done bios jumper before or was it cmos when I had to reset pw, so should be a piece of cake. :-)
