I wanna 'driver' for my memory stick

I have a new computer and an old computer too. I copied some info off my new computer onto the memory stick. When I then put the memory stick into the old computer it states needs a 'driver', searches for one but fails to find a suitable 'driver'. What if anything can I do ? Anybody able to help me please...

    Presumably the old computer is running WIN98? What is the make and model of your memory stick? You may be able to download a suitable driver for it.

    I assume you know the make of your memory stick. With the stick should be some instructions listing a website where you can download the driver for the memory stick. If not then do a google search for the maker's website.

    i bought a memory stick with instructions that for windows other than XP visit a certain site to download driver.

    if you have problems then post the make and model and i will see if i can find the website to download from.
    Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D
  • This is wonderful ! A reply so quickly and some hope of a way of fixing things, many thanks.

    Yes, my operating system is windows 98 and the memory stick states on it ' Integral 128 mb '
