New user... I need to give a little more instructions.
To check out what version of Windows you are running:
Open "my Computer"
Click on "Help"
Choose "About Windows"
It needs to say Windows 98 or Windows 95 R2
To see if your USB port is ready:
Right Click on "My Computer"
Choose "Properties"
Choose "DEvice Manager"
It is in alphabetical order. You should have a line that reads: "USB Ports"
Click on the little "+" symbol in the box.
You should have two entries. Neither entry should have a red x or yellow exclaimation point through it.
If you do not have a USB line in your Device Manager, you need to restart your computer and enter the bios. Usually you hit "Del" when it prompts you early in the boot, "Hit (Del) to enter setup."
Find the line "USB Ports" & make sure it is enabled.
Any questions or anything not clear, add a comment, and somebody will help you. Make sure you do not change any thing else in the Bios. If you are not sure that you may have accidently changed something, exit without saving, and return to set-up.
Make sure you tell us how it goes.

Print out instructions before you attack the computer.

Sorry not the DSU(I have modems on my mind) but the USB port. Sorry.
