Usb Support

If you have win 95 Ver A or before that (3.1) you're out of luck. If you have win95 OSR2 then all you need is something called the USB supplement. The file you're looking for is called usbsupp.exe.

The chart and supporting information in Microsoft article Q253756, "Availability of Universal Serial Bus Support in Windows 95", will tell you which versions of Windows 95 can provide USB support.

Good luck,

my suggestion would be to make the upgrade to an OS of at least Windows98 or Windows 2000 if you can. It will save you head aches in the long run.

I have also noticed that on the versions of Win95 that you can add USB support to, they are never as fast in device communication as an intended Operating System Upgrade....just better overall support.

Good Luck!

I agree with Chaves.

I have had numerous problems with the USB Supplement for W95. Even with W95 "C" / 2.5

Also, the USB support under 95 is minimal at best.

If you have at least a 233MMX processor, and 128MB or more of ram, you definetly should upgrade to 98SE. If you have a more powerful system, consider W2K or XP.

If you decide to add the USB supplement to your system. Be sure to install the latest driver updates for your motherboard/chipset.
