| 99613 | 2002-11-19 06:27:00 | What are the specs of your computer? Just because Win98 can handle USB, it doesn't mean it'll notice a PCI card with USB ports - the retailer probably was thinking about the fact that Win98 is USB capable, not that there'd be a driver there for Win98 to use. Mike. |

| 99614 | 2002-11-19 06:36:00 | Hi... Maybe try device manager to navigate to driver update for the PCI card via the internet... |

| 99615 | 2002-11-19 09:17:00 | there is also a patch for 98 for the usb buried in MS's site. i can't remember the addy but a search through MS should find it. i had problems with USB devices not working with win98se and the patch fixed it. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 99616 | 2002-11-19 19:07:00 | This is the MS site for a USB patch for AMD cpu and Via chips when running Win98SE, (if you have that combination) support.microsoft.com If you know your motherboard, go to their site and see if they have a USB patch for it. |

| 99617 | 2002-11-20 03:11:00 | The card should came with a driver CD or Floppy. If the retailer said 98SE should have it then take yr PC to them and tell them 98SE doesn't have it and what they can do. Otherwise, exchange for another PCI USB card that has a driver or get full refund and get it else where :D | SKT174 (1319) | ||
| 99618 | 2002-11-20 03:24:00 | Every PCI USB card I have seen has never come with a driver CD. If you are using win98 or later OS it will be automatically installed. Never had any problems with them. |

| 99619 | 2002-11-20 03:27:00 | not always. a lot of usb cards don't come with drivers due to windows natively supporting it. all the ones i've put in have never had drivers. win98 just reconises card and installs it. |

| 99620 | 2002-11-20 03:28:00 | Sorry .. I'm looking at the USB 2.0 card :D | SKT174 (1319) | ||
| 99621 | 2002-11-20 03:41:00 | doh......of course USB 2 will require the proper drivers. | tweak'e (174) | ||
