Hello Everyone,
I have been reading some of the items on Memory stick issues. I fall into
the same problem. I bought a 64MB stick in a pen from my local CompUSA
store. I have used it on my work computer that runs Windows XP but when I
try it at my home computer it cannot find the drivers and will not work.
At this computer I use Windows98 SE. Any help would be great.......

Thanks,
Ken

If your memory stick manufacturer doesn't make Windows 98 drivers available
there's no way to make it work on your home computer.

If my work XP system saw it could it be that since 98SE is older it would
not have the drivers on it?

Thanks,

Since there were no USB memory devices around when Windows 98 was written,
it would not have any drivers for it. Your memory device driver
manufacturer must make Windows 98 drivers available or else there's no way
to get it to work.
