Yes - try plugging it into the other port.

Try using a POWERED HUB (one with an adapter) - on some old computers
they have limmited power supply.

Try using two somple things (such as two joysticks - or if you have a
ouse in that port adding a joystick) and playing a game checking for
errors.

If your PC has an empty PCI slot you might consider installing an add-in USB
2.0 card.

As another poster mentioned, you *may* need to use a powered hub if the PC
doesn't meet the USB specifications for power.
