What is legacy hardware and software?
To many, legacy is a negative term meaning old, old fashioned, or obsolete and no longer usable.
- Legacy hardware is too slow and restrictive and not compatible with modern hardware and won't run the latest Microsoft software.
- Legacy software is programs that behave differently than modern software. It may run as a batch process, runs only as a terminal session or command prompt, does not do windows, is written in an obsolete language, is not object oriented or does not run on a personal computer, or is not web enabled.
- Legacy devices are computers, computer components and software that are no longer being actively marketed for use. The hardware still works well although replacement parts are scarce.
- Legacy software is software that was developed long ago and is still doing its job and hardly ever fails or crashes.
.
'Legacy' has to do with when the hardware was made or the software issued. It is older and possibly less functional than a newer issue. For instance, if you own Microsoft Office 2000 and want to install it on a new computer rather than pay for the latest version of Office, the older version would be considered legacy software. DOS software would be considered 'legacy' as Windows machines have not run on DOS since Windows 98. A v.90 modem is legacy hardware compared to the newer v.92.
Whether or not something is 'legacy' may be important if you are trying to install a new operating system (such as Windows Vista or 7) on an older machine. Even if you are certain that the CPU and memory are sufficient for the new OS, the new software may not have the software drivers for older hardware and you may have to install them from a disk or find the drivers on-line. Legacy software is usually less of a problem except for really old DOS programs.
If you have vista then you have a somewhat new computer. That computer came with a box of discs and in those discs there should be an operating system CD, simply put it in your CD-Rom drive, boot up and press any key when it asks you two then follow the on-screen prompts, after this process (vista+fast comp. = 10min) it will reboot and show you the first couple of screens. go through-out the rest of the discs that came with the computer to reinstall drivers and applications.

What can be connected to the USB port?
Anything that has a USB plug on it can connect to a USB port. USB means Universal Serial Bus. During the 1990's, the number of different plugs were starting to get crazy. There were parallel ports, serial ports, SCSI ports, game/MIDI ports, TWAIN sockets, mouse sockets, keyboard sockets and various other sockets. Then as PCs went to more Plug and Play designs, the industry decided there needed to be a universal type of socket to be used with almost any peripheral type. So now, you can get nearly any device with a USB plug on it. There are USB modems, keyboards, mice, printers, WiFi dongles, VOIP devices, network controllers, sound controllers, phone chargers, lights, industrial light controllers, cameras, and many more devices.

Why does your Dell Studio Laptop 1737 USB Ports not recognize devices?
I've had my Dell Studio 1737 for over a year or two, and just recently when I plug anything( iphone,ipod,mice) in a usb port, it won't recognize the device. When I plug in my ipod, it'll charge but won't recognize it. All of the usb ports are up to date in software and I don't have the money to take it somewhere and get it fixed. So is there a way I can fix this so I wont have to take it to Staples or somewhere? Thanks
