Can you help

I have osr 2.5 OEM Release 2.1 that i know has USB Support function available but I cannot get the USB Supplement to install correctly. I have run it from the windows 95 other directory on the WIN95 CD and it installs with no problemand I can see it has been installed in the add/remove icon. But there should be five files in the windows\system folder that are missing and I cannot find them anywhere in windows or on the windows 95 CD. the five files are:

OPENHCI.SYS
UHCD.SYS
USBCAMD.SYS
USBD.SYS
USBHUB.SYS

Can anybody point me in the right direction of where I can get them or can anyone send them to me. The last thing I want to do is to have to FDISK my machine and start from the beginning

I will appreciate allyour suggestions

Cheers

Martin

Thanks for the advice but the problem is that I do not have those files in my windows\system. So I need to have these files before I can proceed

they are the files I needed but where do I get them from. there is no link in that document to get them

I am not sure why they did not show up in the windows/system directory, but these files are inside the USBSUPP.EXE file which is on the Win95CD/Other/USB folder.

The USBSUPP.EXE is a self extracting file, which upon execution fires up the "Detrit.exe" file. The INF file indicates these 5 files are supposed to be copied to the system subdirectory.

To get them manually installed, Use WinZip (or an unzipper of yoru choice) to extract the WDMUSB.EXE file from the USBSUPP.EXE file.

Use an unzipper to extract the 5 files you want from this WDMUSB.EXE file and place them into the windows/system folder.

This will get you the files you want and the ability to complete the installation, but it still does not answer why it failed to install properly on your system. Are you using a non-standard location for the windows or windows/system folder? Were you out of disk space?

Good Luck!!!
