Very useful USB driver for Windows 98 based computer. This Generic USB Driver can recognize most USB drive's if you are still using the Windows 98 OS. This driver has not been updated for several years, and it won't be updated. Alternative spelling: Win98Drv11308.2.exe.

If drivers were not downloaded automatically by Windows Update, use Device Manager to refresh the driver from Windows Update, or contact the device manufacturer. I'm Moli, your virtual agent. I can help with Moto phone issues. Driver canon imageclass mf7480 printer for Windows 7 Download. This the generic driver that comes with the generic wireless 300n mini wireless usb that is usually on ebay or you are using windows 10 you can pretty much plug the device in without having to install the drivers as windows 10 does recognize the adapter and has drivers for it. This issue occurs because the USB audio 2.0 driver (usbaudio2.sys) isn't classified as a generic driver in Windows 10 Version 1703. Therefore, the system assumes that a compatible, nongeneric driver is installed for the device even though the driver is generic. To use generic USB redirection rather than optimized support, you can either: In the Citrix Workspace app, manually select the USB device to use generic USB redirection, choose Switch to generic from the Devices tab of the Preferences dialog box.

Although Windows 98 has been out of general circulation for well over a decade now, it might come as a surprise to some people that it's still actively in use, especially in a business or specialized environment for running old software. There is actually a third party Service Pack for Windows 98 Second Edition which is still being updated well into 2013, even though Microsoft ended their support for Windows 98 on the 11th of July 2006! Obviously, hardware support from all major manufacturers has ended years ago so if you or your company still run Windows 98 in some capacity, it's incredibly difficult to find compatible hardware and software for it.

As an example, a company I did some work for a while back purchased a Kingston Data Traveler USB flash drive for backup purposes on a computer that's still running Windows 98. The problem is, due to some obsolete software that needs to run on Windows 98, the computer cannot be upgraded to newer versions of Windows such as 8, 7, Vista or even Windows XP. I've tried compatibility mode on Windows XP and it doesn't work either, so it's either upgrade the software or continue using Windows 98. Updating the old software is very expensive, so the decision was to stay with Windows 98 and try to source parts that can support this ageing operating system.

The immediate problem was getting the flash drive to work. Windows 98SE is actually not too bad at handling mass storage drivers for a USB storage device IF you have a driver disc that accompanied it or a download is available. 98SE doesn't come with a generic mass storage driver that would install support for all standard USB storage devices like newer Windows versions, so not every device you insert will simply get recognised. Predictably, Kingston offers no support for their devices in Windows 98 so no driver can be installed to pick up the flash drive.

After much searching and testing, I finally managed to install the Kingston DataTraveler on Windows 98. This following method which I'm about to show you can work for most USB mass storage devices if your Windows 98 has detection problems. What I found was a generic Windows 98SE USB mass storage device driver that will work with many makes and models of the following:

– USB Flash Drives
– Digital Photo and Video Cameras (that connect to the PC via USB)
– USB Hard Drives
– MP3 Players (including Apple iPod from v2.4)
– Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

This driver isn't guaranteed to work with all devices because it's a generic driver, and you shouldn't install it if you have no issues in the first place. It does though work well for the purpose it was intended for, it did for me and has for many other people.

Installing the generic USB Mass Storage driver

1. Download Windows 98SE Generic USB Mass Storage Device Driver to the desktop.

2. Open Device Manager (right click My Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager) and remove ALL drivers for USB flash drives. This includes any drivers of removable devices previously installed from the 'Disk drives' tree.

3. Remove all drivers for any USB controllers (under Universal Serial Bus controllers). Devices in Device Manager can be uninstalled by right clicking on an entry and selecting 'Remove'. Also remove any Unknown/Other devices, those which have no installed driver.

4. Run the nusb36e.exe driver installer. After that has completed, reboot the computer.

5. During reboot, the computer will detect new devices and USB controllers and will ask for the Windows 98 install CD so make sure you have it to hand. The driver install window actually tells you to reboot after these controllers are installed but I didn't have to. If you have any issues, then follow the advice and reboot a second time.

6. Then insert your USB storage device and it should get picked up by Windows. Don't forget Windows 98 cannot read NTFS so the storage device needs to be formatted with FAT/FAT32 to be recognised with a drive letter. Open My Computer and your flash drive or device should be visible.

The 16GB flash drive above wasn't a Kingston but still required the general USB mass storage driver to be installed for it to be detected. Do note that this driver is for English versions of Windows 98SE only and won't work on the original Windows 98. You can visit the related MSFN forum thread for more support or updates to the driver in future.

When a user plugs in a USB input device, the host checks if the device is allowed by the USB policy settings. If the device is allowed, the host then checks the Client USB device optimization rules for the device. If no rule is specified, then the device is handled as Interactive mode (02). Capture mode (04) is the recommended mode for signature devices.
