USB Flash Disk Driver might be currupt

[Guest b11_]

When I run the setup file of a USB Flash Disk Driver, a message on the screen

informs me that the driver is already installed but a USB thumb drive that is

in a USB socket is not recognized by W98. When I checked Device Manager, I

see no WARNING of a problem there. You suggestions please.

Use usbview.exe to detect your USB hardware. It is available on your

Win98 CD.

 

Otherwise there is UVCView which "is based on the USBView tool" and

which "uses the May 2005 USB.org vendor list":

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/stream/vidcap/UVCView.mspx

 

If Usbview or UVCView detect your flash drive, but W98 doesn't

recognise it, then you have a software issue.

What about entering Device Manager and erasing the driver then reinstalling it.

Go ahead, but it won't likely do any good.

Should I erase the driver while in Safe Mode?
