Re:
This modem is supported by Win98, the driver can be found below, download and unzip if neccassry, then when windows is looking for the driver foece it to browse wherever you have saved it to as the pc will probably be looking in the wrong place.

Nearly all USB modems have storage with a setup and drivers. The box it came with would state what operating system it is compatible with. If Windows 98 is not listed, it does not exist.
Development on the Windows 98 platform has stopped world wide because it is a version of DOS (unsafe, drive space and memory limitations) and no longer supported by Microsoft. Todays software configurations are saved in the registry, Windows 98 and DOS are located in various INI type files.
My suggestion? Run Windows 7 and download the free Microsoft Virtual PC package, install Windows 98 in a VM and it can use the internet shared by the host Windows 7 system.
After navigating to SMC's website, I found the driver for your device, however windows vista/ windows 7 is not listed as supported, however, they did have a driver for
Windows 98
Windows 98 SE
Windows NT4
Windows Me
Windows 2000 Professional
try using this driver and see if windows 7 will be able to use it.
I would look for the recovery cd's and start fresh.You coold try a earlier version of media player-uninstall the one first from add and remove programs.Try putting your modem into a another empty slot.Usually windows will find the modem and install the driver for you.
Hello sir, hi, installing a USB device on windows 98 is kinda hard but possible. here are some things that you should do:
you may need the sierra CD device driver that comes with your wireless card.
next is that your PC should support USB 1.1 or 2.0. If you are using windows 98, make sure that your USB port is working fine, you can insert a flash drive to confirm if your usb port is working.
depending on the setup files they may need you to plug in the device as the setup file loads the driver or later.
run the sierra CD setup file to install your wireless card. (hope win 98 supports this device)
after the setup, plug in your wireless USB device, windows 98 should detect it.
If things didnt work out as listed above, do it setup several times, ............ still no progress call your dealer for proper installation on your PC.
Have the driver disk handy and let the computer re-detect the modem. If it doesn't find it, remove the modem from the slot it's in and insert into another slot. the re-detect if it doesn't see it on boot up. It the computer still doesn't fing the modem, you may have a bad modem.
Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP
