I am working on a computer that is a 80486 with W95B running on it. It keeps wanting to install the software and/or drivers for a PCI Universal Serial Bus but can't find what it needs. Any suggestions for a fix for this. Help.

Go to Control Panel>System>Device Manager
Do you see a large yellow question mark next to an Item along the lines of "unknown PCI device"?

If so right click and select properties. Then check disable this device.

When you reboot it should'nt try to reload the PCI USB device. I know this is not the best fix, but it can get rid of the annoying message.

If you are actually trying to install a USB card, use the original CD, not file files in windows\options\cabs. The USB stuff is in a separate USB directory on the CD (I forgot the name), not where everything else is.

Good luck.

Check the Win95b CD for the usbsupp.exe
You may have to enter the BIOS control panel and enable usb.
Using the add new hardware wizard,you want to select other and select from list and then click on have disk

It depends on what version of win95 you have. If you have 950/950a than your version doesn't support USB. You need 950b/c/or d(I think there are such a version). The one I am looking at is 950c I believe. And the USB support files are in \\other\updates\usb . When I was building systems. I remember I ran both usbsupp.exe and usbupd2.exe to get the USB driver installed. If you are not sure what version you have.. just do a search on your Windows 95 CD for usb*.exe
