Possible causes: - USB support is disabled in the BIOS. Enter the CMOS Setup and turn it on. - You have a PCI USB card and it is not seated; reseat the card with the power disconnected. - The ESCD area is invalid or incomplete. Set the Clear ESCD option in the BIOS or clear the CMOS completely. - USB support in the OS is corrupted, apply SESP 2.x to attempt to repair the files. See: http://exuberant.ms11.net/98sesp.html - An unknown software problem has occurred, use SFC to attempt repairs or rerun Windows 98 setup in upgrade mode
