You can add an internal USB card if you have space for one. Or you can buy a
hub. Buy a powered one, or you'll wish you did.

Buy a Belkin powered hub.
 
dont know if i have space for another usb card or not, i have 4 open slots
below the modem, in the back of the tower, will have to find a shop and ask
someone, would also look into the hub yall mentioned, thanks

If there is an PS/2 socket for the mouse, it is usually placed
right above the 5-pin DIN socket for the keyboard. If the PS/2
port exists, then replace the USB mouse with a PS/2 mouse and
connect a powered USB hub into the just-freed USB port.
 
i took a picture of my system, with the side panel off, is there any way i
can post it on here, so yall can see the slots below my modem to let me know
if i can put a internal card in here? i dont know how to do it, tryed to copy
and paste, but that didnt work, thanks

It's not necessary to replace the mouse itself. There are adapters - readily
available, that accept a USB connection on one end and plug into a PS2 port
on the other.
 
hey, thanks for the info on adapters, i was planning on going to best buy
today, ill look for that
 
one last question , on the back , the keyboard plug is purple, i think,
thats a din, right? next to it is a dark green socket of the same type, would
that be for the mouse?

buy, then im going to sleep, been up way too long, yall have a good one

Yes the green one is a PS2 connection for a mouse. Unlike USB, PS2 cannot be
plugged in while the computer is running. Turn off the computer, plug the
mouse into the PS2 (with the adapter you're going to pick up), then boot up
the computer.
 
more you can but com-to usb converter so you can use more usb device ,
"Convertor : there is wire which contain usbport at one end and com port at
another end" you need to connect at back panel of your cabinet or Cpu
box,then you can attach any usb device .

if you have moer query so you can ask me!
