Can anybody please advise on the following problem:

My girlfriend has just signed up to broadband through wanadoo and been sent a speedtouch modem.

The modem has a usb connection and the only way to plug it into the back of the computer is to use one of the usb ports.

Unfortunately the printer has a usb connection and so does the keyboard.

It looks like I need 3 ports but there are only 2.

Help anyone????
 
You need to purchase a usb hub or a pci usb expansion card. The easiest thing is to go buy a usb hub. When you plug it in you'll have extra ports.

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.
