I then loaded the floppy disk and manually ran the. To test it out, I plugged a flash drive into the computer and the Add New Hardware Wizard opened and prompted for drivers.
How to install usb mass storage device driver windows xp drivers#
I loaded the following drivers onto a floppy disk, and brought it home: I have a PS/2 keyboard and mouse so flash drives here are my main concern. My research shows that there are third-party drivers available that allow Windows 98 SE to work with USB 2.0 devices including flash drives.
The problem is, since this computer is 20+ years old, it only works with USB 1.1. I thought perhaps maybe I didn't have the right drivers, so I decided to load some on. Nowhere in the system was either the NIC or the second modem recognized. I ran the wizard but it didn't detect any new hardware. The "Add New Hardware" wizard did not open by default. It didn't boot the first time but I cycled the power and it booted up fine, more or less. I had a Dell Dimension 8200 laying around that had Windows XP, so I opened it up and took out its internal modem, and the NIC, for good measure. The modem shows up in certain system dialogs but none of the dialers - HyperTerminal, Phone Dialer, etc. I recently tried using the internal modem on the computer - a 56k Compaq modem - for the first time. It's been handed down a few times, and I don't recollect it ever being online but it does have a version of Firefox from 2007 so I could be wrong about that. I have a Compaq desktop computer running Windows 98 SE.
