I have an E-Machine, that has Win98 OS, I have been told that I would have to upgrade to Win98SE to recognize any drivers for my ''Flash Drive'. Where can I obtain a full copy of Win98SE with the ''Key Code''? Thanks, Danny [email protected]

windows 98 in year 2017, why/?
good luck,
why mess with this old box.
why not get a 10 year newer box for near nothing at GOODWILL.
really this box is land fill fodder. now. know body beats there head on w98 now....
mx.com no support
hp.com no support its on the no support page, seen here
Compaq Presario Media Center SR2030NX Desktop PC
so if a driver is bad (hell the hardware is too)
then go to the chips that fails home page

the mobo is ASUS>
A8M2N-LA
may be the they have 19 year old IDE drivers for win98

GeForce 6150 LE chipset
the IDE is nforce , (old)
the only hope is Asus, old pages or nvida relic pages.

Hello there, it seems you broke the TCP/IP stack, i recommend, remove all networking components in Control Panel -> network and reinstall all of them, second i strong recommend upgrade to a new S.O. Win9x have several security flaws easy exploited by bad guys what can not be fixed.

why win98se? I was a fan of win98se but ...

all drivers for winMe are ok.
use google with "MBcode win98se drivers download" . You may try with winme instead win98se . You'll encounter problems if your mb is very old and you need to properly install isa cards .

win98se,mb drivers, sound, video,lan in this order. dont forget that win98se accepts drivers from 95/98/ME . Them must have the inf file . I liked to made manual instalation of every drive (update driver, browse to location of inf file....).

That is a common thing with the early win 98 os and newer hardware.

You really should consider an upgrade to at least 98SE or even WINDOWS ME.

The machine will struggle with USB 2.0 and you are open to a whole lot of little glitches

If it's a USB card reader, go here and download the universal USB driver for Win98 or Win98SE:

One of my machines is Win98 and this driver has never failed me. Install the driver first, then plug in the device and the hardware wizard will detect it and do the install.

OR

If instead you have a 9-in-1 reader that goes in a 3.5 inch bay (like a diskette drive), that is an IDE device and needs to be attached like hard drive or CD-ROM, then your operating system will recognize it.

Hello Mike

I had the same problem. I found the drive for (Win98SE) I needed on the Verbatim europe site, hope this works for you. Note: make sure you take note of which serial number you have, it is in very small writting on the side of the stick.

If it is XP , usually it will detect the flash drive. If it is win98 you may require a driver for the flash drive.Give the model number of your drive. I Will try to help you to get the driver if your system is windows98/2000

OK Win98 doesn't play well with USB, when Win98 came out USB was very new, and NOT supported properly untill Win98SE... and even then it is a pain and real problematical. I would suggest you get a Ethernet connected DSL modem.. Else ya gonna have no end of problems regardless of what ya do including "Flashing" I think that model PC has Ethernet built in? otherwise get a PCI Ethernet Card and use that instead of USB.. ya be good to go. I would also upgrade if possible to Win98SE PLUS install ALL Updates there are still Win98 suport on the net, simply Google for it.. good Luck.

Uninstalling other makers software may remove a system file which prevents installation of Coolpix drivers from the Nikon View v5.1 CD on Windows 98SE systems. It has been reported that, when connecting a Coolpix camera to a Windows 98SE machine, the hardware wizard will not recognize the appropriate driver; this setup fails because the file "IMAGEHLP.DLL" is missing from the system. Installation will stop with an error message which mentions this file. This problem may be caused by the earlier removal of another makers software from the operating system. To solve the problem, first disconnect the camera then follow these instructions to copy the appropriate file from the Win98SE CD back to the correct directory on your computer: Place the Win98SE CDROM in the CD-ROM drive. From the Start Menu select Run, type in SFC.EXE. Select "Extract a single file". Type in IMAGEHLP.DLL to the field provided. Click start. When the next dialogue box appears click "skip". This dialog box appears: Where e:\WIN98\ should be the Win98SE CD-ROM (your CD-ROM drive may use another letter other than "e"). Copy the file to the same destination shown and a screen will appear showing that "File has been successfully extracted". Next, remove the Win98SE CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive and replace the Nikon View 5 CD in the CD-ROM drive. Reconnect the camera. The hardware wizard should automatically detect the camera and install the driver from the Nikon View 5 CD.
