         As I wrote today my laptop is using 10.04 and EVERYTHING works. 
I checked this computer and still many things do not work. I now know it 
IS a failure in this computer and I plan to rebuild it soon. My problems 
sound like a problem in the mother board. Something is not working that 
causes the USB ports to not work.

     I thought that since everything works when booted into version 
8.04, it should work the same in 10.04. This appears to be a bad 
comparison and I will never use it again. I have been thinking about 
re-building this computer and this experience gives it more of a chance 
to change soon.
