I looked a the USB setup using a program called USBDeview. I looked at the BIOS and found that all USB settings are “enabled”. I looked at the IRQ steering and it agrees perfectly with a website I found on the subject. (Note: Sytem uses a PS2 arrangement for mouse/keyboard normally) So at this point, I think the hardware and the port are fine. Inserted it, and Win98SE immediately processed it and created a drive which worked fine. I brought in a USB thumbdrive less than 1gB. System detected it and set up the keyboard. I brought in a USB mouse, and the port is alive, recognizing the mouse as a new HID device. I’ve visited Dev Mgr and ensured that both the Root Hub and USB Controller are present and working. I have to come clean here – I’m actually trying to awaken the USB ports, so I can connect a USB printer – an HP7350 DJet. Can anyone shoot me some hints? Could it be that the 8gig thumb drive is just too big for SE to recognize?
#Windows 98 usb device driver how to
I’d like some help figuring out how to use the USB ports on this computer. Checked device mgr and there are no yellow triangles and under USB ports I see the root hub and the controller listed and reported as working fine. I should be seeing something akin to what I’m used to seeing with XP – Found New Hardware, Windows is searching.loading software to use with your new hardware, Your hardware is ready to use… etc. I also tried connecting a printer to both ports, no reaction. Rebooted again with the stick in the USB slot, still nothing. Found a supposed generic USB driver (nusb33.exe (sp?) and loaded it up. However – No system reaction, no drive in explorer. This tells me that there’s USB power at the port.
I plugged in an 8gig thumb drive and it’s light came on for about 2 seconds then extinguished. Have an old generic Win98SE (I’ve verified it’s SE) system that I’m trying to use the USB ports on the back.
