Vosonic 2060 - compatability problem with Win98...please help!

Dear All

I am really hoping that someone can help me. I have just returned
from an 8 month trip overseas, during which time I have stored all my
photos on a 40GB VP2060. Obviously I am keen to have a look at all
the photos however I have had repeated problems trying to use it with
Win 98 PCs. I install everything as per the Users Manual, but when I
then reboot the PC and connect the VP2060, it comes up with a "New USB
Hardware detected" message and says that it is installing new drivers
and then the PC freezes until the VP2060 is turned off. At this time,
new drives appear in Window Explorer momentarily before then
disappearing. I have had exactly the same problem with 2 Win98
machines. I know the VP2060 is working as I have connected to a WinXP
with no problems at all.

Any help or suggestions at all would be much appreciated! I have, to
date, had no luck trying to get some technical assistance from the
manufacturer.

Many thanks in advance
Kind regards
Simon Stocks

 

My suggestions...
1) find a copy of Win98 Rev "B"
or
2) Upgrade to at least windows 2000
or
3) Find a friend who has at least windows 2000 and have them download
the pictures for you.

Win98's USB support was dicey at best, even in the "B" revisions.

There really isn't a B version of 98, that was 95. There is Windows 98 and
Windows 98SE.

Only the SE version properly supports USB. Most USB devices specifically
require SE.

I stand corrected. Win98 "SE" is what I should have said.
