When I click Properties the error message is Code "This device is either not present, not working properly, or does not have all the drivers installed.
When I click "Update Driver", then Search for a better driver, then location c:, it says the best driver Windows found is already installed for this device. Question two: Is this really a USB flash drive driver? Why is it picking this driver? Is there a way to get it to pick the correct driver? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or should I just order a Windows 98SE compatible device online? I was hoping to back up my files sooner rather than later as I risk losing 9 years' worth of data on this PC.
Joined Apr 28, Messages I am assuming that you extracted the driver for the USB drive? If you did you need to direct the computer to the driver file. USB devices can be complicated in Windows 98 if they are not natively supported. Magnus 2 years ago. Kyle 2 years ago.

Device-class support is more or less the same between USB2. Some internal modems are WinModems and require special drivers to work. So it's very possible that you will have more luck with an external one, or at least you can rule out any driver issues.
It's more likely USB 1. Almost all USB 2. Of course, you will still need drivers. Windows 98 was much more needful of loading drivers off floppy disks or CD-ROMs than more modern versions of Windows are. Even worse than the unfortunately still existent GDI printers.
