Start by going to jenoptik's web site, and see if they have any software updates posted.
Then check for an FAQ section that might help you correct the problem.

It is also possible that the camera software needs a newer version of drivers installed for your mother board. Jenoptik should be able to tell you if the drivers need to be updated.

If you want to try updating your mother board drivers, you first have to determine who made the mother board, or what chipset is on the mother board.
If your computer is a major brand, just go to the manufactures website, download, and install any driver updates that they have posted for your computer.
If it is not a major brand, check your documentation for information on the mother board.
The make and model of the mother board may also appear on the screen when you first turn on your computer.
Once you have the mother board identified, go to the board manufactures web site, and get the latest drivers posted there.

If you have trouble identifying your mother board, try www.motherboards.org they have some good tools to help you identify your mother board, and get the drivers you need for it.

Finally, go to www.microsoft.com/windows and click on windows update. There may be a patch for windows that will correct your problem with the usb port and the camera.

One more thought, check to make sure that you installed the correct twain driver for Windows 98.
