I have installed a USB drive, It shows up in Device Manager under other devices with a yellow question mark. A message says there is no driver. Also it says no driver is required.

My problem is on My Computer, there is no Icon showing up for the USB.

Any ideas?

Win 98SE

Many USB 2.0 drives do not play well with Windows 98.

Step 1, download and install the drive manufactures driver for Windows 98.

Step 2, if you still get errors, you may need to upgrade to a plug-in card USB 2.0 adapter card.

If, the drive manufacture does not have a Windows 98 driver for your drive, you are out of luck.

Hello TheChas,

I did install a Fujifilm driver for Win98. That put the usb on my device manager list. Also downloaded another from Ridata which is the plug in drive company.
What happened to the old website. I don't like this one at all. Did they give up the point system? Maybe I don't know how to get around on this new website.
I know you have been around a long time.
Thanks for any other ideas.

I can look into things in more detail if you let me know the make and model of the USB drive and your motherboard.

Many USB 2.0 drives will not work under Windows 98 with older motherboard based USB 1 controllers.

As to the site, yes it does take some getting used to.

They did do away with the points system. Now, you can rate an answer as helpful.
