THE PROBLEM is the system DOES NOT DETECT ANY of 4 Flash Drives, and I =
CAN'T INSTALL THE DRIVERS into it.

When I put any of the 4 Flash Drives into any USB port, nothing happens.

Then I go: Control Panel Add New Hardware and the system finds a new =
device.
However, when I "browse" to the folders with the Flash .INF files and/or
the other Set-up files, the operating system FAILS to install the =
drivers.
It leaves a big "yellow question mark" in the Device Manager.

I'm trying to install and HAVE ALL the drivers on CD-ROM for these Flash =
drives.
1. PNY Attache 64 MEG Flash Disc
2. PNY Attache 128 MEG Flash Disc USB 2.0=20
3. SanDisk Cruzer mini 128 MEG=20
4. AVB 64 MEG=20
----------------
I went to the Compaq site and went through their Troubleshooting =
recommendations for my machine. The best suggestion I received was to =
check the BIOS to see of Advanced setting for the Legacy Plug and Play =
support was enabled. It was.
----------------

I've installed these same Devices and Drivers in many other Win98(SE) =
machines.
I've installed them in many family and friends Win98(SE) machines, and =
had no problems. =20
I've install them in many different Win98(SE) machines in three =
different classrooms, and had no problems.
It's only in this Compaq 7595 with DVD Player that I'm experiencing =
problems.

Does anyone have any recommendations/suggestions as what to pursue next? =


Many thanks, in Advance.
