Windows 98 & USB port
After downloading and installing a few windows update
files from microsoft web site, windows 98 (2nd edition) will not finish loading when USB port is in use by the cable modem. if i disconnect the USB port, reboot, windows 98 completely loads with icons, etc. then I plug USB port back in and cable modem works fine. do i need to reinstall the cable modem software? do i need to reconfigure the USB port? I checked the USB port through control panel, properties, no errors there. Any thoughts or ideas? |

Please refer this question to a general discussion group for your operating
system. This problem is not internet related per se, it is a hardware issue. -- Hyperlinks are used to ensure advice remains current _______________________________________ Sandi - Microsoft MVP since 1999 (IE/OE) http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/ "Rodney" wrote in message ...

I was perfectly polite, which is more than I can say for you. I hope your
attitude doesn't continue into the next group you use, there's no better way to convince people NOT to provide you with assistance. -- _______________________________________ Sandi - Microsoft MVP since 1999 (IE/OE) http://inetexplorer.mvps.org "Rodney" wrote in message ...
