Have a Compaq EVO D310V, which I installed Windows 98 on, Came from factory with XP Pro. Downloaded and installed all drivers. Except USB Drivers, I Downloaded Compaq's and Intel chipset Drivers , and when installing, the system locks up at New hardware Found, "Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM USB Univeral Host Controller - 24C2" Ihave blown away the Inf files, The USB Enum key, and even reimaged the pc. But everytime it gets to that point it locks up. I have the newest Bios update and all drivers. Reset the Bios to factory Defaults. Any help would be great.. Thanks

Did you format the hard drive first or are you trying to install dual booting. Dual booting requires Win98 to be installed first, then WinXP.

If this is a new machine, be aware that some of the latest machines no longer have Win98 compatibility,and you may have to go for Winme. Also Win98 systems have RAM limit of 512 MB. I have never had problems installing USB on Win98, the Windows drivers always work, so try asking Compaq Technical support.

No Dual boot, Just 98, and Compaq will not support a machine that does not have the original OS installed. I re-formatted the machine. Installed the Chipset Drivers in Safe mode, Rebooted and that took care of the problem. Dont ask why, but it did..Thanks
