    Anyone know of a program or where to get a USB driver that will allow me to use my 1Gb thumbdrive on machines using WIN98SE?

    Many Thnx

    Am i the only one that calls them "USB keys"? Here is a sentance...
    USB wont let me in, can't find my key...Doesn't seem to be a folder called"under the rock beside door" in my Program files

    For my USB 2Gb stick I just went to the web site of the maker of the USB stick and downloaded the driver for WinXP and it works just fine (despite being told it would not work with 98SE). :)

    And if not mistaken ...think you need to have win98se to use a flash drive ...win98 didn't support usb....

    After some searching I was able to find the manufacturer website and got the driver from them. I tried it on one of my machines but it would still not work. Checked website FAQ and found some things to try. Thanks to all for your input and I will continue to work on this when I can. I was just not sure if a thumbdrive would work with WIN98SE but now I know it does and will just have to experiment .

    THNX Again
