Hi, I ran into issues setting up the USB drivers in Windows 98 for the below rig.
Socket A ga-7vtxe+ (chipset VIA KT266A), Athlon XP 1700+, 256mb of ram.
Win98 runs perfectly fine, until I install the nusb drivers, tried with both 33e and 36e.
I must mention that I follow the installation procedure and have successfully installed this driver on other configuration.
Also that the current configuration detects a usb flash drive when plugged in but of course cannot find a driver. So I assume that the USB ports work properly.
The outcome: Upon reboot (after installing nusb), the os detect the PCI to USB bus as a new hardware and tries to install the driver from Win98CD .
This is when the following error comes up.
Msgsrv32
This program has performed an illegal operation and will shut down.
MSGSRV32 caused a general protection fault in module KRNL.EXE at 0002:00002b8e
From here I can only shutdown and disable the USB port in bios to properly boot in OS.
I flashed the latest bios from rev F3 to rev F6a but it didn't help in that specific issue.
USB port cannot be enabled unless I start the installation of Win98 from scratch.
My first question when looking at the error is whether it is possible to restore the files altered by nusb so that I can resume and not install the OS again?
Secondly is whether there is a solution to get nusb driver to work properly? otherwise I'll carry on without using usb flash drive.
Thanks
