Guest C.D. Koger Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Just bought a Z320i with integrated camera for my wife. Paid 10 times too much for an USB cable, needed to transfer pictures to her laptop. But WIN98SE wants a driver for this device and cannot find one..... No drivers included, no info on the mfr's website.

The closest I could find were drivers for a Z520i: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/products/softwaredownloads/z520i?cc=hk&lc=en http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/products/software/z520i/sonyericssonz520usbdrivers17813?cc=hk&lc=en The file name being: Z520_Signed_USB_drivers.zip According to this: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/products/software/z320i/ "Unfortunately there is no support available in this category for the product you have selected. Click below to see all available support for your product." My guess is that the file you're looking for would be named Z320_Signed_USB_drivers.zip but a search turns up zero hits on that. Maybe try the Z520i driver ??? Maybe modify the Z520i inf files?

Thanks for trying. I offered win98 the location where I put the Z520 drivers, but it found nothing useful there. USB-View reports the connected device as: Device Descriptor: bcdUSB: 0x0110 bDeviceClass: 0x00 bDeviceSubClass: 0x00 bDeviceProtocol: 0x00 bMaxPacketSize0: 0x40 (64) idVendor: 0x0FCE idProduct: 0xE0AE bcdDevice: 0x0110 iManufacturer: 0x00 iProduct: 0x00 iSerialNumber: 0x00 bNumConfigurations: 0x01 ConnectionStatus: DeviceConnected Current Config Value: 0x00 Device Bus Speed: Full Device Address: 0x04 Open Pipes: 0 When I retired, USB was in its infant stage, so I lack a lot of knowledge, but I assume that the OS will search for an INF file that contains the Vendor or Product ID. Looking through the Z520i files, I see nothing similar. Btw, WinXP rummaged through its internal data for about 5 minutes, installed a Sony USB stick driver and showed the phone/camera as a removable drive. Cornelis Koger

Try modifying the 520 files so that your Vendor and Product ID replace the ones in the file.

Cornelis, If modifying the .inf file does not work, try installing the "unofficial" Native USB Mass Storage Driver for Win98SE: http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.php Although not specifically for cell phones, it may see it as a removable drive, the way XP does. It's worth a try. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+

Their usenet policy is not quite clear to me yet, they seem to concentrate on local groups and pornography. But they are cheap. The laptop in question is a Compaq. As you probably know, that is a hostile environment for a lot of software that runs impeccably on normal machines. Following the instructions for the Native USB Mass Storage Driver, I removed all existing USB devices.

Removing the USB entries in Device Manager will of course prervent the USB ports from working. You should use a PS/2 mouse while doing this preocedure. I'm not sure how you got the display problems. Which version of the Native driver did you install, and did you choose the correct driver package (Win98 or Win989SE)? There are both versions 2.x and 3.x. I have had better luck with their 2.x version, but others may have different views. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+

That the display went crazy must have been caused by static electricity or from plugging in AC power. I used the reset button to reboot and went to safe mode to reenable the drivers. The display was OK then. I downloaded Maximus Decim Native USB ver. 3.2 for 98SE, English. There is one driver called openhci.sys version 4.10.2222 for what the device manager calls "Compaq PCI to USB Open Host Controller". I disabled that one also. Was that perhaps wrong? rgds, Cornelis Koger

I disabled that one > also. Was that perhaps wrong? OK, let's back up a minute. First of all, you should NOT be DISABLING anything in Device Manager. I believe the instructions for version 3.x drivers at the Maximus Decim website may be misleading. The version 3.x drivers install support for USB mass storage devices and also for USB 2.0 ports if you have USB 2.0-capable ports in your system. Before installing, you are to uninstall any installed drivers for your USB mass storage devices (flash drives, hard drive enclosures, etc). Those drivers should have an uninstall entry in Add/Remove Programs. If you have a USB 2.0-capable system, I suspect all the USB Root Hubs, and the USB *Enhanced* Host Controller, would have to be removed from Device Manager, but I don't see why the standard USB Controller would need to be removed. If your system only has USB 1.1-capable ports (and if it came with Win98SE loaded originally, it is pre-USB 2.0), there should be no reason to remove *any* of the USB Controllers or Root Hubs. I do not use the version 3.x Maximus Decim driver; I use the version 2.x driver, which does not add support for USB 2.0.....I don't need it because although my system has USB 2.0 ports, it already has USB 2.0 drivers for Win98SE installed from my motherboard manufacturer's driver disc, and there is no good reason to replace them with a generic. Likewise, if your system only has USB 1.1 ports, you don't need USB 2.0 support. You can still install the version 3.x drivers, and it will supposedly simply not install USB 2.0 support on your system....but in that case I see no need to remove any of the USB entries from Device Manager. Just UNINSTALL via Add/Remove Programs any manufacturer's drivers for the flash drives or the phone or whatever. What you DO need to do in Device Manager with either version of the driver, is remove all entries in the "Other" category, if it exists....and you must be sure you have NOT DISABLED any of the USB Controllers or Hubs. If there is an entry for your phone as a storage device, remove it also, so there is no entry anywhere that references the device you are planning to support. I don't recall if I mentioned it in this thread earlier (I have in others), I use version 2.4e rather than the 3.x version you downloaded, and it has worked with every flash drive I have tried. It is a simpler installation and probably all you need to test if the generic driver will work with your phone. Uninstall the version 3.x driver via Add/Remove, make sure your USB Root Hubs and Host Controllers are enabled in Device Manager, reboot, then download and install version 2.4e of the generic driver for 98SE: http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/drivers/nusb24e.exe Run the installer, then reboot, and insert your device to see if it works. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+

After connecting a Samsung stick, Windows went through the motion of searching for and installing a mass storage driver twice, then decided the device could be used. The stick was accessible as a removable disk. But the camera is completely ignored. The difference between the two is probably that the stick immediately shouts it is a storage device, but the camera upon detection of a powered USB cable starts a program that mimics such a device. There is a 3-4 seconds delay before the program is active, it is released as soon as the USB plug is pulled out. But is was worth a try....
