1 - Is USB enabled in the BIOS?
2 - What chipset is on the motherboard? Everest should tell you this. Joe "Keith" wrote in message ... I have 98SE installed on this computer. I had my Palm installed and working on the other computer that I just transferred everything from. I don't have the paperwork for the camera anymore, but I did have it installed and working on a computer other than these two that I have mentioned and that computer also had 98SE. I used the installation disk for both items and installed evrything before I rebooted and connected the devices to the USB ports, but no new hardware wizard appeared. What should I do at this point? Thanks. Keith. |

I took a look in my BIOS and I couldn't find anywheres where it even
mentioned USB. Maybe I didn't look in the right place. Could you tell me exactly where I should look and if I find it and it's not enabled how I would enable it. You also asked me what chipset is on my motherboard. I have a Asus P5A motherboard with a chipset: ALi M1541 ALaddin5. I hope this can help. Thanks Keith. |

Thanks for reposting the chipset model. I saw it in one of your early posts
after my post re-requesting the make and model number. Download and install the ALi M1541 IDE BusMaster (for P5A, P5A-B, P5A-VM) aliide34.zip Version v3.40 drivers from Asus. http://www.asus.com.tw/support/downl...-B&Type=Latest You'll probably have to reboot. The USB Enable/Disable option in the BIOS should like something like this: http://www.coloredhome.com/USB1/usb_asus_6998.JPG Joe "Keith" wrote in message ...

The USB was disabled in the BIOS. I enabled it and downloaded the
BusMaster. When I was installing it a window popped up with the question: DOS CD-ROM and IDE Drivers may conflict with PCI BusMaster Driver in Windows. Please remove your CDROM or IDE Driver from config.sys or autoexec.bat. Do you still wish to install the driver? Should I click on the yes button or should I do as it says and remove the items in config.sys or autoexec.bat , with your instructions on how to do so? Thanks. Keith. |

First check to see if the USB devices such as your Palm Pilot and camera
work. If they work, then there's no need to install the BusMaster driver. Joe "Keith" wrote in message ... The USB was disabled in the BIOS. I enabled it and downloaded the BusMaster.

My USB devices do not work. I tried plugging them in while the computer
was up and running and no new hardware window popped up. I unplugged them and shut down my computer and then plugged them in and still no new hardware window popped up. When I first enabled my USB in BIOS and the computer started to reboot it asked me to put my 98SE CD in which I did and it tried to look for a file on the CD but couldn't find it, that's why I figured I needed to install BusMaster. I don't recall what file it was, maybe a driver? Thanks. Keith |

Go ahead and install the Busmaster drivers. I am not certain, but I'd be
surprised if they caused conflicts with the IDE drivers. How often do you run the CD-ROM in DOS? Probably never, like me. Joe "Keith" wrote in message ... My USB devices do not work.

One other thing - Download and run USB Ready from PC World. It will check
to see if your USB ports are working. http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fil...n.asp?fid=6085 Joe "Joe727" wrote in message ... Go ahead and install the Busmaster drivers.

I'm not having much luck. I installed the BusMaster and then checked to
see if it was working with the USB Ready program as you suggested but the test results came back as follows: SYSTEM SOFTWARE SUPPORT Microsoft Windows 98 with Full USB support Recommendation- No System Software Upgrade Required. SYSTEM HARDWARE SUPPORT Recommendation- No System Hardware Upgrade Required. USB DRIVER SUPPORT USB Driver Connection Is Not Operating Correctly. I'm not sure, do you think I did something wrong when I installed BusMaster? I went into the folder were I dowloaded it and found my way to the win9x folder and then found a file that read setupand used that for the installation. There is another file that has an icon that asks me what I want to open it with and the file is: _inst32i.ex_ In theWin9x folder there is another folder called Win9x and inside that there is three other files: Alihdd, idevsd.vxd, and M5229.mpd. I don't know if any of this helps but I'm just tring to give you as much info as possible between post. I also went out and got a USB card from a friend and tried to install that one. Windows picked it up as new hardware but when I tried to install the driver from the 98SE CD it does the same as for the BusMaster. It cannot find the file on the disk. I tried searching the CD for the driver, but not being sure what I'm looking for I didn't see anything that would help me. Any more suggestions? Keith |
