Help! USB Pen Drive

[Rob P]

I was given some promotional material on a USB pen drive today.

Got it home and stuck it into my ageing Win 98SE computer and it requires a driver for a "mass storage" device.

All the help on the internet I have found so far is too technical and seems to be written for programmers.

Any ideas for a simple solution for getting the driver?



Thanks.

I think you need a USB driver that should be on your W98SE2 CD. Failing that, download a usb driver from Microsoft.com

I've had a nose about the microsoft site, nothing. Will keep on searching!

I've also searched the CD - no drivers.

XP doesn't need a driver. You need a Mass Storage Driver for 98, but the problem is I have found there are lots of different ones. If you could post what make/model of USB stick you have, that may help.

I have a few driver CD's here and may be able to email you one, subject to driver size

Its unbranded.

The package simply states "USB 2.0 Flash Drive 128MB".

As you said it works fine on my work PC (XP). The microsoft website has drivers and utilities for XP but as yet I cant find anything for 98SE. Searching for "mass storage" on microsoft website does not show any useful help, where did you find your drivers?

Ok mail me your email address and I will send you one which just says "Win98 Driver"
