280769	2004-10-13 08:28:00	I have just purchased a Speed EX-2 MP3 Player and when I plug it into my usb port on my PC it comes up with new hardware found mass storage device then the computer hangs, when control alt delete is actioned a new hardware not responding comes up, after that the whole computer freezes I'm running with windows 98se and I have the correct driver on disk that came with the player but I don't get a chance to load it as the PC freezes can anyone please help me?

At least you'll know if its working or not. IF it is try checking out the manufacturers website FAQ, this could be a common problem, perhaps updated drivers are available. I have come across several usb flash drives that simply will not work or are downright dodgy on 98 but are quite happy on modern os.	the highlander (245)
