USB driver problems

Need some help, win. 98se machine, problem item > D-link, 3 port USB hub and Card reader ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817111132 ), not recoginized in "My Computer", does show in Device Mgr. under USB Controllers, as a Mass Storage device but with a Yellow Exclamination mark with this info > "NTKERN.VXD device loader(s) for this device could not load the device driver (code2), click "update driver to fix" - have tried that to no avail -

Have spent most of the afternoon researching this problem, there is a copy of the NTKERN.VXD in the c:\windows\system and c:\windows\system\vmm32 directories

I did install the Win. 98SE SP 2.1a, downloaded from MG's

I am also being told when trying to update the driver that the UFD.SYS file cannot be found in c:\windows\inf\ufd.inf directory

Contacted D-link, they weren't sure this device would even work on a win. 98se machine at all, even with an updated driver, but on there web site for this product it states as being compatable with 98se -

There are 2 USB (1.1) ports in the back of the tower with a USB printer connected to one and working fine, I tried this device in that port with same results -

I have a couple of days yet before I HAVE to RMA it back to NewEgg -

I'm going to do some more looking and will check back here later - any ideas will be appreciated

Thanks

 

Did the usb hub come with drivers for 98se? Did ye install them? Do other usb devices work?

 

No drivers came with Hub ( that would be wayyyy toooo easy), and, yes , a printer is connected and works -

 

Interesting that you say that this is 98 compatible, when this link:
http://support.dlink.com/products/view.asp?productid=DUB-CR200

Says it isn't.

Just a hint, I never buy something before I research it.

 

theefool, Thanks for quick reply, YES the 1st link you give does show that the device is NOT compatable, however the link I gave in the 1st post, go the Manufacturer's Product Page > Product Specs and it clearly shows as compatable with 98SE, this is the page I used for reference, clearly the wrong info however :-(

The link to the Hub you gave, I may just get one of those, IT does show as compatable with 98SE as do several "internal" combos (hubs and readers) I've seen on NewEgg - tomorrow I'll have to pull the tower apart and see if there is a USB connection open on the MB, if not I probably will get a external Hub and single card reader -

If you can think of anything else I might need to check on BEFORE I order again, let me know, I'll be checking back later -

THANKS again
