Windows 98 does not support USB. Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices that are connected to a Windows 98 Second Edition-based computer may not work if both of the following hardware components are installed on the computer:
An AMD processor (running at 350 MHz or faster)
A VIA Technologies USB controller
This problem occurs because there is a timing-specific problem in the Universal Host Controller driver (Uhcd.sys) that may prevent USB devices from being properly enumerated under specific timing conditions.
To resolve this problem, download and then run the appropriate file for your language version of Windows.

If you have an NEC chipset based USB 2.0 card, either desktop PCI or Cardbus), don't have a drivers diskette/cd from the manufacturer or you picked the card at an auction or another other second-hand venue) and for some reason you're stuck running Windows 98SE (or ME), don't believe Microsoft's USB 2.0 papers about "lack of win98 usb 2.0 drivers".
