So to get any USB Device to work you need to install the driver that came with it for Windows 98.

some things like flash drives don't come with drivers and its supposed to work just like that but my computer does not even see it in the usb hub so what do i do.

If you didn't get one that is used to work your Thumb Drive you'll have to try a Generic USB Driver though if you can find just 1 thumb Drive Driver it should allow all the other Thumb Drives that you care to plug in to work.

You can try looking here for a suitable driver

i did what you told me to do but it still doesn't work. what else could i do

If you can not find one on the Web Site of the Maker of the product for 98 you'll need to use one of the many generic ones available at the Goggle Search that I provided.
