I don't know if it makes any difference in this case, but your motherboard is USB 1, so I would use the nusb33e driver instead. https://www.philscomputerlab.com/windows-98-u … age-driver.html

Thanks. I'm already thinking that the problem is how the seller installed the computer and what he included so I'll use the nusb33e driver when I do a 98SE install on a new 120GB hard drive, replacing my included 40GB hard drive.

On my 98SE computer, I have both nusb33e and the nusb36e drivers installed because I also have a USB 2.0 card installed. But I don't have an unplug or eject hardware box that comes up - I have the arrow in the system tray, when I click on it, it offers "Stop USB Disk - Drive(G:)" (or whatever letter it has).

I'm actually good with the USB 1 ports included on my motherboard. My only need for it is flash drives.
If the 2.0 ports on that card you mention make the transferring from the flash drive to the computer faster without being hampered by the old opereating system then I may consider it.

If makes things a bit faster, but that's not why I mentioned it. The Unplug or Eject Hardware box that you have looks like something from Windows ME to me, not Windows 98, and I'm not sure why it looks like that.

Thats because nusb33e/36e take components from windows ME/2000 to add the USB 2.0 support.
Look at device manager after installing NUSB - You'll notice it's the one from windows ME.

When I first started using the computer, it had the nusb33e driver installed and the Unplug or Eject Hardware box was already there when the seller/make of the built helped me with getting the 32GB flash drive to work on it. The pre-built/pre-installed computer originally had a MSI MS-6153 VER 2.1 motherboard installed on it, but it broke later and I replaced it with the current one I'm using and had to reinstall the USB storage driver and decided to use nusb36e drivers so it be more up to date.

I have both of those drivers installed on my Win98 computer, but the Eject Hardware does not have a pop up box.

So, it seems to me, the only way to make this usb drive work, is to uninstall in device manager drivers (with drive plugged inn of course), and after restart, install drivers again (try with 33 first, if it doesn't work, repeat this and try with 36).

You mean uninstall the Universal Serial Bus controllers in Device Manager?.

Didn't work but I don't care anymore. 🤷🏼‍♂️
I'm doing a new Windows install soon on a new hard drive with larger capacity.

Yep, that's the best thing to do! If that doesn't work, something's wrong with the MBO....

It's how 98SE was installed with drivers and apps the eBay seller chose to use as I had this problem since I first got the computer that had a different motherboard I've mentioned.

Did you install the chipset driver? You may find it on phils website somewhere, I think it’s 3.20 something if not mistaken.

For additional NEC usb cards, install nusb first, then the card and in order to get full usb speed you need to find a driver for your card as well.

Intel chipset driver 3.20 is already installed.

I've made my final decision to see if the issue would be present when I do a OS install on a larger HDD. I'll let y'all know if it will fix the problem or not.
