I recently purchased a PNY USB2.0 flash drive for Windows 98 Se from PCWorld but am having a problem downloading and installing a Driver from the PNY site.

Any suggestions welcomed.

Run through what you have done so far as per installation.

Downloaded pny driver to my hard drive then selected the file to install to computer, message said it ran Ok but when I attached PNY flash drive and tried to install it the computer couldn't find the PNY driver on the computer.

Ok did you get the driver for win98se specifically or a different driver by
mistake or by what PNY said... as win98se does need specific drivers

Get me drift... :beer:

I loaded the Win98SE version fron the PNY site for the Attache 512MB Flash Drive.

Ok just blow out the slot where the usb connects to the PC as dust
can cause a few probs... did you restart PC after install if not do so.

I did restart the computer and when I connected the flash drive the computer recognised the flash drive was attached and asked for the driver - so I geuss the usb slot was clean?

The problem seems to be the downloaded software as although it said it load OK, it only took a few seconds but then the driver couldnt be found on the computer - normally any driver I have loaded take more time to uncompress and load.

Try installing the driver again but from the add new hardware wizard in
control panel if the usb is showing as new hardware in device/hardware manager.

Also I will have a look for the driver again.. it is usually only a small file so it does
install quite quickly....

Many thanks for your help re flash driver - The problem was that windows couldn't find the new driver but by chance I looked into C/Window/Temp and found the new driver but at no point did the PNY installation process tell me where the driver was being unziped to.

All working fine now

Thanks once again for your help

When uzipping files you will be asked to choose a location
the temp folder is usaully winzips default if you used that.
