flash drive causes a reboot under Win98SE
My flash drive causes a reboot under Win98SE when I plug it in. Works
fine when I boot up on Win XP. I assume it is a driver problem? Any ideas? |

What driver are you using? What flash drive? -- Glen Ventura MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 CompTIA A+ http://dts-l.net/ |

Manager I get the DT2PW98.EXE, unzip, run it, reboot, and no driver installed. |

... It does not work for me. I get an Other Devices" listed in the Device Manager I get the DT2PW98.EXE, unzip, run it, reboot, and no driver installed. Instead of insatlling separate drivers for each USB mass storage device, and finding some of the drivers don't work, uninstall them all and install one universal driver for them all. I recommend using the driver from the Italian web site wintricks.it It is not installed beforehand like some other generic drivers; rather you point to it when Windows first detects the inserted thumb drive, as you can see from the pictures on the web pages, even if you cannot read Italian. http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98.html Although the pages are in Italian, you can look at the screenshots on some of the pages to determine how the driver is installed and uninstalled: http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98.html http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98_2.html http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98_3.html http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98_4.html http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98_5.html http://www.wintricks.it/faq/usbpen98_6.html The Download link is the "Download" button on the last page. http://www.wintricks.it/download/wtgenusb.zip Basically, you download the driver package (.zip file), and unzip it to a folder where you plan to store it on the computer. When you insert your flash drive, Windows will detect it and give you the option to find the driver. Choose to have it look in the folder where you unzipped the downloaded files, and it will see the .inf file there and install your flash drive. You can use this same .inf file to install other flash drives and USB mass storage, so save the .zip file somewhere safe and store the .inf file in a permanent location of your choice. -- Glen Ventura MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 CompTIA A+ http://dts-l.net/ |

Thanks Glen. Great. It worked the first time and only took a few
minutes. I have had this thing for over a year. It is nice to actually be able to use it..... |

Another good one is nusb.exe. In my experience nusb was better at recognizing external hdd. Other than that they were equally good. Recognized my three Kingston devices. There's a nusb version for both 98FE and 98SE. http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.php Unlike Wintricks nusb will change a few menu names if you choose a language version different from that of your OS. -- JP Loken Sent with Opera's e-mail program: http://www.opera.com/mail/ |
