Hi,
I've got win98SE thats worked for quite awhile,
although recently when I boot up and the modem is plugged in
the USB port, the computer hangs right after the win98SE splash
screen disappears. I then have to turn the computer off and
boot into safe mode and shutdown, unplug the modem, then
finally reboot into regular win98.

I have looked in Device Manager after rebooting into safe mode
and found no 'unknown devices' or question marks to delete.

If I plug the modem in *after booting up, then my firewall asks
if its ok, I click ok, and the modem works.

The printer USB connection will also cause the same thing.
This just happened recently but I can't pinpoint what is going on.
-------------------

Secondly,

I have to do a clean install of win98 on *another disk that has a
Promise RAID controller on it. I know that when doing a clean install
of XP you have to hit F6 at a certain moment and stick the driver in
during setup--or, you can do it later when the software wizard pops
up.

Is there something similar with win98 I need to look out for?
---

Thanks for any help. I've considered doing a quick reinstallation
for the first problem, but I wanted to see if anyone knew of some
obvious USB problem to alert me to first.
