The Stratitec cables from Sam's are excellent - no sweat there.
That may not be the problem though. Are you prompted for the drivers or not? Does the system sense any change at all when you plug in?
Look here for ideas:

: Do I have to buy the expensive USB cable ($25-30) or will the inexpensive (Strategic 2-pk for about 7 bucks at Sam's) for a Lexmark X73 all in one?
: I presently have a Compaq 7470 w/W98SE and a VIA controller. When I plug in the USB cable (front and back ports) during the install process when prompted nothing happens.
: I have a new DELL Dimension 2350 on order and should arrive in a few days. Will the cheap cord work?
