The computer is an HP Compaq Presario C700. The HD died, so I installed a Crucial 128G SSD and then installed XP from a CD. I had to disable SATA in the bios to accomplish the install. XP seemed to work fine. I then installed Quicken 99 Basic which also seemed to install okay.
My intention was that this machine will run only one program (Quicken 99), and never go online. However, when I inserted 2 of my 3 USB flash drives containing the Q-99 backup files, XP does not recognize the USB flash drives. I am thinking the solution might be installing a specific driver for the USB ports, which I would need to download from the internet?? (One of 3 USB ports is occupied by the mouse which works fine.)
However, the XP internet connection wizard only has a set-up for dial up connections, whereas I have Cable One internet. Until XP can recognize a flash drive, I cannot use Q-99 for money management. So if the solution to XP recognizing a USB flash drive is downloading a driver form the internet, then I need a solution for a cable internet set-up connection for XP first.
