Re: PCWorks: USB pen

[Keith Thompson]

I have a photo card reader that I used on windows 98.  Its a usb 
device.  I will say that I had to jump through many hoops to get it to 
read, but did finally when I found that I had to use the Mass Storage 
driver rather than a Card Reader driver.  Once I got that straightened 
out, it worked just fine.  The trick is to get the right software, 
install it first THEN plug in the usb device.  Any other order will 
result in failure.  I had to remove the software several times in 
finding out that the usb device could not be plugged in first or it 
would upset the whole installation.

OK,  I've found some info that Win98 doesn't support USB mass storage
devices. What is the name of the storage pen?  Have you tried going to the
web site of the manufacturer of the USB device and looking for drivers?
Apparently you are going to need one.

Have you ever used a USB device on your computer? In Device manager do
   

you
 

have any listing for USB?
   

Yes, I regularly plug in a digital camera and also have a USB 
printer.  When plugged in, this pen shows up as a USB Mass Storage 
Device.  It has a yellow question mark on it.

Clicking on 'details' gives a message:  Device Status  The drivers for this 
device are not installed (Code28)  To install the drivers for this device, 
click Reinstall Driver.  Following through with that results in my 
eventually having to say where the driver is.  THAT is the problem--I can't 
seem to locate one.
