I installed USB 2.0 ports on my windows 98 computer. All seems well but it
just won't work. Any ideas?

It may be that you need 98SE for it to work. It may also be that your
computer was shipped with USB disabled in bios. Packard Bell sold PCs with
USB ports that didn't work until you entered the setup screen and enabled
USB. I run 98SE and USB 2 works fine. See if your control panel/system
properties/device manager.
You should have "Universal Serial Bus Controller" listed twice, the second
being for USB2.0.

If it isn't listed, try "add new hardware" in Control Panel.

Support for USB 2 is available for Windows ME, 2000 and XP. Microsoft has
decided not to support earlier versions of Windows (98 and SE), but third
party drivers are available from port adaptor manufacturers.

Did you install the drivers that came with your USB 2.0 card?

If you have 98se, installed the drivers, and the 1.1 works, then I would
remove the devices in the device manager and click refresh( make sure
you do not have any unknown devices) or maybe do a fresh install of
98se. Sounds drastic but I have had some buggy little problems fixed
with a format and install. Worst case it may be a bad card.

I am not sure, but I think 98 does not support USB 2.00. You should enquire
to the manufacture's site about this, or call them directly for the proper
answer. There may be a patch available to do the fix for you.

Other than running a USB network, USB video, a USB hard drive, or a USB high
speed scanner, what would you want the USB 2 for?

USB 2 is the new standard for the industry, because of the speed. As for the
standard printers, digital photo cameras, and scanners, USB 1.1 is still
faster than these devices.
