| 126211 | 2003-03-07 04:10:00 | Have a Compaq EVO D320 PC that came with Windows XP Pro but need to put Win98 on it for a software package that doesn't work in XP Installed Win98 OK then installed latest Intel INF chipset update. It installs OK then restarts the PC then starts to Find new hardware as normal but then locks up installing the USB controller. After a restart Win98 will no longer load except in Safe Mode. If I remove the USB controller in Safe Mode the PC will restart and find it again and then lock up again. Have tried a fresh install of Win98 again just in case I did something wrong but same problem. With XP on it the PC and USB ports worked fine. Also, I have installed the USB 2.0 drivers and that installs fine. Anyone got any ideas? |
