Driver required to enable use of usb memory stick
      #384154 - Wed Feb 13 2008 06:54 PM

Hi,

I have just completed a windows 98SE reinstall on a friends standby computer, and would like to find a suitable driver to enable one of the USB sockets to be used with a 1GB Memory Stick. It seems that most memory sticks are XP and above, therefore unsuitable for win98.

I have looked into 'device manager', and there are no drivers installed apart from the USB bus controller.

Any advice or suggestions will be much appreciated.........RonG

USB sticks don't come with drivers. Windows itself (including Win98SE) carries all the information needed to install one. Have you been to the Microsoft site and downloaded all available updates?
