By USB adapter, you mean like the 5-port USB 2.0 PCI Card Terhune wrote
about in another thread? Does it come with drivers--does it need it's own
drivers? How do I find out if my MB supports 2.0?

USB 2.0 devices need USB 2.0 unless specifically noted... the driver would
have to supply support for USB 1{.1}.
USB 2.0 adapters are relatively cheap, however, they need 98SE to function
properly.

| My son was just given a Mp3 player which needs to have a Windows 98
| USB driver installed. The problem is that Windows doesn't detect the
| driver on the install CD when running the Add Hardware wizard.
|
| What happens is that the driver setup program is installed, Windows
| builds a new driver information database, detects that it has found
| the Sunplus Multidisk disk and will search for a driver for it, but
| doesn't find one.
|
| I've tried the "Search for the best driver for your device" option,
| the "Display a list of all drivers" option, "Have Disk" and that all
| didn't work. Craig doesn't have a website so there are no FAQs. The
| player won't work with Windows if the driver isn't installed.
|
| I guess to generalize the question, how does one install a USB
| driver from a CD when Windows won't detect it?
