Hi Carol,
One final thing, go on to your motherboard manufacturer's web site, and see

All the best
Steve

I think George has got me where I need to be now, thanks.
I know what you mean about plugging USB's into the same ports as I do have
that issue with one item I use.
Thanks for all help. Matter now sorted ...
