Guest Lorenzoi Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Plannig to install Win98SE in my PC, actually with standard Win98, in my effort to be able to use the new jump (pen) drvies. Where can I find updates for Win 98SE after installation since Microsoft ceased support of Win 98/98SE?

Your main probem will be to find USB drivers for newer jump drives. If you search this newsgroup for the topic you may find general-purpose USB drivers that willl meet your needs but there are no guarantees. Very few USB memory devices were originally marketed with drivers for Win98, probably none since new since2003. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

Guest Lorenzoi Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Re: Windows 98SE Updates Thanks, Don, but some of the modern jump drives provides for download of driver from manufacturer's web sites. However, they require W-98SE; will not work with W98.
