| 539271 | 2007-04-09 05:27:00 | I have an old machine running windows 98 (not SE). Is it possible to load a generic usb driver to enable me to use my Dell flash memory? A google search did find a driver but it was Win 98SE only. | deanobravo (11924) | ||
| 539272 | 2007-04-09 05:31:00 | Try it and see what happens, can't hurt... much. | Shortcircuit (1666) | ||
| 539273 | 2007-04-09 05:33:00 | forgot to mention, i did try the 98SE version, it was "incompatible with current windows version" | deanobravo (11924) | ||
| 539274 | 2007-04-09 05:38:00 | If its USB 2 I dont think 98 supports it. You'll need 98 SE or higher. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 539275 | 2007-04-09 05:51:00 | Is the win 98 Service Pack loaded? That will bring it pretty close to SE anyway. Get WIn98 updates and patches here at MDGX (www.mdgx.com) For info on USB , have a gander at www,usbman.com While they don't have a specific Win98 USB page (SE only), towards the bottom of the page there are topics and links that encompass both 98 and 98SE. |

| 539276 | 2007-04-09 06:53:00 | with a bit of research you MIGHT find an internal pci usb card which will support win98 1st ed...............MIGHT.........maybe.......perhaps ...... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 539277 | 2007-04-09 07:01:00 | See this thread (www.pressf1.co.nz). Let us know how you get on. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 539278 | 2007-04-09 08:10:00 | Thanks for the thread, but the link leads to a website where i got the generic driver that would only work on 98SE. I think speedy gonzales is right - Win98 doesn't support USB 2.0. | deanobravo (11924) | ||
| 539279 | 2007-04-09 09:29:00 | look around it's possible to pick up win98se reasonably cheaply if you look hard and all you need to do is to run a 'repair' install (otherwise known as an 'over the top install') with it and that'll upgrade you from 98 first ed to 98se without losing any of your data or installed progs i've done this several times..... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 539280 | 2007-04-09 10:19:00 | The download page at the technical-assistance.co.uk site where you got the 98SE generic driver also has older versions than the 3.1 which I presume is the one that you tried. Scroll down the page past the chunk of white space below the 3.1 link. There might be an earlier version that works with plain 98. | Robin S_ (86) | ||
