Weezie,
Thanks for the information about the USB hubs. I actually had found one of those but my problem was that the Magic Box had a serial connection and the only one of those on my new Computer was where the monitor plugs in. I need a monitor to see what embroidery pattern I am choosing etc. I did manage to purchase a converter that allows the serial plug to be used with a usb connection.
I will get another monitor from the local shop that carries things that the bigger store doesn't. It is staffed with "geeks" who really know their way around a computer. My husband and I decided to set up the old computer downstairs to be used just for my embroidery stuff. After my earlier post I actually found my original installation CD. I had put it away so carefully I couldn't find it for several days even though I searched what I thought was everywhere.
