How do i connect a USB Device if all the USB Ports on my machine are disabled.
Also, is there some PS2 to USB converter device or something of that sort which could allow me to connect to the machine.


Thanks a lot

I have the admin rights on my machine but dont know exactly what to do to enable them.
They are not disabled from the bios but by some other method using some sort of script or firewall remotely. Actually its my company's machine and i want to enable the ports to connect my Cellphone via PC Suite.

Thanks
