Go to control panel and then to system and then look in the device manager, if the USB drive shows in their with a '!' next to it, double click on it and it should bring up a screen with 3 tabs. Click the tab that says driver, then select update driver.

Follow through the options on the screen until it asks for the driver location, Use the browse facility to locate where you extracted the files to and select the *.inf file and click continue (if it doesnt accept the inf file select one of the other inf files until you get the right one). This should install the driver.

Thanks - there is no device manager only a device bay icon (its win98)

It works - fantastic!!!!!!!

Thanks CIS, Mr Skint, & Rex_Mundi - legends all of you!

Now when I have backed up everything I'm going to try and make the laptop run faster as it is v v slow. I'm going to Virusscan, check for spyware, use ccleaner, scandisk, and defrag. Anything else I can do?
