I tried downloading the usb drives from the following site.
http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.php
Now my thumb drives work but my usb internet connection no longer does. I
get an error saying that the hardware is either not plugged in or the drivers
need updating. Which is not the case. Also, i am getting an error in "ACPI
Battery" in my device manager. It says that the NTKERN.VXD is not loading
the proper drivers. Both of these problems began only after i installed the
usb drivers from the above mentioned site.
Anyone have any solutions?
Thanks
The web page gives links to Win98FE and Win98SE driver packages, and instructions on
how to tell which you have. Which operating system do you have, Win98FE or Win98SE?
Which driver set did you download and install?
Did you install version 2.x or version 3.x of the driver set, if using Win98SE?
(Only version 2.x of the driver is needed if there is no USB 2.0 controller on your
system)
Did you install the "unofficial service pack", if using Win98FE? (Some users have
had success without installing that pack, others must use it)
Do you have a USB 2.0 controller or are the computer's ports all USB 1.1?
Is it a laptop or a desktop computer?
You also do not state what type of Internet connection you have, and what USB device
you are using for Internet, and why you are not using a network interface card (NIC)
instead.
What is the exact name of the entry in Device Manager with the problem?
What is the Code number shown for the problem in the properties of the device there?
The best place to get help with those unsupported drivers is he
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=43605
There are 23 pages of posts in that thread...read through them quickly for similar
issues, or post a question in reply to that thread.
There is no support we can give for those drivers here, and little support is
provided by the makers of the driver set.
