I have noticed several people requesting support for specific camera models.

Tip:

My sister and I are both published photographers, and at present, have eight cameras between us which we use on occasion, plus a few others on the shelf we no longer use, but used at one time.

As the more drivers you have the larger your reg file, I have never installed camera specific drivers, but just used a card reader to move the images from the camera to the computer.

Even folks who have only one camera, will be likely to have a different one at some time in the future, necessitating ANOTHER driver be installed - If you just use a card reader, you will not have to install anything, no matter what camera you, or your friend, took the picture with. In addition, if you carry a card reader with your camera, you can generally transfer pictures to almost any computer using anything later than 98SE, OR 98SE if the person who owns the computer has installed this excellent package.

Need Driver for "Sandisk Cruzer Micro Skin(Silver/ in color) 4.0gb-flashdrive"-as will not open on 98SE,Win2000,XP???...it lists as Vista compatible? on ultra fast MoBo's.Any help as Sandisk "drivers"not workin' in 98SE!!! Unknown driver shown in 98SE and useful on Win2000/XP only to copy files ,yet drive does not "Fully open!"as it should? Still in need of proper 98SE driver though returned product and exchanged for 8gb/Sandisk Micro(Black/in color) Cruzer (*Easier user interface in all OperatingSystems )

Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 has Newer USB drivers someone should check it out
look in the Wceusbsh.inf

I had a look and it appears to be only Pocket PC devices listed...

BTW MD, The Windows XP SP3 USBSTOR.INF adds three more Sony Memory Stick Reader/Writer devices, and also a Casio Digital Camera device.

I installed usb drives from the following site. http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.php. I was able to get my flash drives working but i connect to the internet using a Trendnet adapter to connect using ethernet to the usb port. (my computer only has 1 port and an old xjack connector but i do not have a phone line connection) I installed the drives because i could not us a thumb drive. Well after loading the drives, for the memory stick, my TRENDnet adaptor no longer worked. I get an error saying that i need to install new drivers. So i believe these drivers are not compatable. My os is 98FE.

I also get an error in my device manager for "ACPI battery" code 2 could not load drivers. Both of thes problems only occurred after loading the usb drivers.
I would like to know if there is a fix for this, or if not, how to isolate the new drivers and remove them. Any other drivers that would work?

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Did you also see the usbvideo.inf it also has drivers.

Hi!
I just installed Maximus Decim Native USB ver.3.3 and all of my eight usb devices worked perfectly, congratulations to the man that created this drivers.
.
The quesion is... my Windows 98 SE is a brazilian version, so after i installed the package some parts of the operating system were in english.
There is a way to restore this parts to the original brazilian language of my operating system?

Grab and install the following updates: Q242975brz8, BR291362 and BREXPL98. This ought to get you back to PT-BR. You may have to unpack the latter with WinZip, WinRAR or 7-zip and install their files (user*.* and explorer.exe) by hand from pure DOS, in case you have higher numbered versions already installed...

Ok, i will try.
Thanks...valeu!!!

My 98 SE is a original brazilian version with all the official updates installed from Windows Update and have no unofficial updates, except the Maximus Decim Native USB drivers.
There is a problem if i install this three updates that you recommended to restore the english parts to brazilian parts? Some of this three updates can damaged my system if i have lower versions files?

I'm positive you run no such risk.

Ok, thanks again.

Is there a quick way to determine which version of NUSB I have installed on my 98SE system?

I'm thinking the last update I did was using Autopatcher around Aug-Sept 2007, but perhaps have got a newer version installed since then by other means. How can I quickly determine which one I have installed?

Thanks!

According to the hotfix page NUSB 3.3 came on 2007 Dec 12, which means you probably have 3.2.

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=84886

I can't find NativeUSB 3.x Uninstall anywhere in Add/Remove programs.
Does #2 mean remove root hubs and Intel82371AB/EB PCI to USB Host Controller from Device Manager?
Or is there another way to remove the existing NUSB 3.x? I know some version of NUSB was installed
the last time I ran Autopatcher (summer 2007), but I'm not sure how to remove it?

Will upgrading to 3.3 possibly fix the issue described here:
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=131193?

I've learned by a private message that the version I have installed is most likely NUSB v3.1.
The USBSTOR.INF in C:\Windows\Inf is 20,771 bytes, and dated 05/12/2007 at 8:48pm.
Since I don't know how to remove v3.1, I hope installing 3.3 over 3.1 won't cause any harm.

I think I have a problem with NUSB3.3. When I first learned of NUSB (3.2) I installed it and got a nice (Updated icon+ other stuff Im sure) Sys Tray safe remove icon.

With 3.3 on a fresh autopatched sys I don't get that anymore, and when on my laptop I upgraded to 3.3 the icon no longer supported usb devices and limated itself to PCMCIA (Using the new icon)

Is this a known problem or has something happened.

I have downloaded a fresh each time so it can't be that I have a corrupt copie.

Trev

This link sent me to Free Zone. Is that supposed to happen? It said I had to join. If so, then what?

im assuming you are after nusb3.3 so try this link http://www.mdgx.com/spx/NUSB.EXE

I've been using NUSB for some versions.
Today I bought a NEC chipset 5-port USB 2.0 seperately powered PCI card to use in place of my VIA USB 1.1 onboard.
I plugged the card and power in, and started up Windows 98SE.
Taking only a few seconds, the card was detected and installed!
All my USB devices now work at MAX speed.

NUSB is the best!

But what about the safe remove icon.. Where is it?
Is there something I need to install other than nusb3.3 to get it, get it BACK even?

Trev

No problem here with NUSB3.3 and the sys tray icon. I can left and right click the tray icon no problem to stop the drive. I have had all the versions working perfectly on my both my 98SE and 98SE2ME boxes.

Have you tried reinstalling NUSB3.3 back over the top of the last one?

PS. An afterthought. In System Configuration Utility, Startup Tab, is System Tray definitely checked?

Worst case scenario, could always put this into a link to open the Hotplug DLL directly.Good to have handy anyway as a 'just in case' measure in the event explorer were to error out and so-forth.

Ok, that worked which means it is 'functional' on my system however it still does not appear in my tray - yes I do have a pen drive in.
Oh yeah I refer to Chozo4's rundll suggestion.

Is there a way to invoke it to a background service like the rest of the systray (I know 9x doesn't call them that but at least you should know what I mean)

With this in mind would someone, Maximum doesn't seem to be here, check that 3.3 does this instalation because its on 2 computers this has happened.

The first I installed each build from 3 and had the icon which dissapeard after installing 3.3, the second I installed 3.3 and it never existed.

Trev

I don't mean to be impatiant but any help here would be appretiated...

Trev

Sorry for the BUMP...

If I undestand you right, you've installed 3.1, then 3.2, then 3.3, when it finally went wrong... is that it?

Yes, on my laptop I installed the first one I found (3.1 I think) then updates after till 3.3 when I 'Lost' my safe remove icon.
On my desktop I just installed 3.3 and no icon exists in any version of 98 I have (R7.1,R9, AP'ed 98)
R9 has me shell.

When I install 3.2 after no effect results.

I don't know what is going wrong.

Trev

Try the following procedure:
1) Go to Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs.
2) Remove the USB 2.0 drivers from there.
3) Reboot.
4) Instal again NUSB 3.3.
5) Reboot.
6) Test and report.

no difference.#

I uninstalled usb2stack... from Add/Remove
I deleted all usb devices in safe mode
I installed Nusb3.3
all usb devices Automaticly installed bar the pen drive whicjh I had to click next on
... Still no icon in sys tray

hotplug runs only when I use
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

Still no icon in tray...


Am I looking at r-installing windows? ...Again!...

Trev

Not yet...
Open NUSB31 with WinRAR or 7zip and extract EXPLORER.EXE from inside it.
Rename it to EXPLORER.31 and put it into c:\Windows.
Reboot into true MS-DOS mode, and issue the following commands:

C:<Enter>
CD\<Enter>
CD \WINDOWS<Enter>
REN EXPLORER.EXE *.33<Enter>
REN EXPLORER.31 *.EXE<Enter>
<Ctrl><Alt><Del>

And, after the machine is back to Win 98SE, check whether your issue is solved or not. Good luck.

Wont that mean Ill loose my 256 colour Tray and other explorer related mods?

What would happen if it were the ME shell (RP9 - same problem Im sure, Ill startup in it and see)

Trev

P.S. Yes same problem in RP9...

There must ba an incompatability between nusb and another project... I don't know which though.
I Autopatched my win98se
I Autopatched + RP9 + win98-me 'd my Win98seRP9. ( it was actualy a copy of origonal before RP'ed)

Before Autopatch, It was a fresh install. At the time autopatcher was on usb so I used nusb, then autopatcher then nusb again then (in other) rp9 then win98me then nusb again...


When I had it working (for the first time ) on my laptop I actualy now beleve it was a 2.x series NUSB (did a 2.x series exist)


Oh, by the way (back to your suggestion) It didn't work either...
I tried with another explorer called explorer.ori (whichever project does this) to the same effect...

Try to install an older version of NUSB after cleaning all USB drivers. I usually install v2.7 on machines that lack a DVD drive since that's the latest version I have available on a CD, then I update to 3.3 from an USB drive and so far it never failed. Good luck!

NUSB27e ? That one I wasn't aware of!
Are you sure you didn't mean NUSB24e ?
BTW, I'm glad to see you around again, Drugwash!

You wouldnt mind posting that here would you?

I was reading somewhere else that somebody decided to get rid of the icon in later versions, maybe I messred if you still have the icon.

Its funny, its just a little thing, but knowing I used to have it now realy buggs me...

Trev

Here: Windows 98 USB Mass Storage Device Drivers. Got to the Win 98SE section. They have NUSB24e and other old versions, besides the current NUSB, in various languages.

Whether you refrained from answering my question on purpose or oversight is possibly not at present relevant but I will ask it again as it may help your fellow members answer your problem. At the moment they seem to be chasing their tails and going round in circles.

Is systray.exe definitely running on your machine?

Because if it is not running no amount of reinstalling NUSB, whatever version you try or changing explorer.exe version is going to get your USB tray icon back.

Now systray.exe gets disabled for a number of reasons, on purpose by the user or by mistake by the user, but don't just assume it's working because you have 'third party' icons in the tray, (firewall, AV etc).

If you are unsure over what systray.exe does then read the following thread in particular post#2.

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=103225

The version of systray.exe should be 4.10.2224

That's a very apt description of my current status, regarding this problem...

Very true.

OK, Just checked systray version and it is indeed 4.10.2224.

It is also currently running (Checked in ctrl-alt-del)

It is also run on startup.


I was sure I had answwered the questuion before but maybe I wasn't tyoping at the time

Trev

P.S. Still no luck with ANY version...

...Maybe time for a re-install...again...
This time, what do you recoment I install, by way of member projects, to get this working properly.
I assumed Autopatcher would do everything that was nessesary, minus of cource Revolutions...

In the words of Alice in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland",

Curiouser and curiouser! 

If systray.exe is running then things are getting very much more complicated. This is where system file back-ups and disc image back-ups would have saved the day. Every PC I have ever built has 2x HDD's, a partition of the second drive stores Ghost images of the main drive going back months.

With NUSB3.3 you get systray.exe 4.10.2224 and hotplug.dll 4.10.2224 so reinstalling NUSB removes the possibility that these are corrupted.

However if you read post#71 of this thread, the problem has been seen before, but bear in mind that this was back in 2005 and NUSB3.3 does not contain any known problems.

Follow the advice listed in 1) Hotplug Icon Missing, but DO NOT edit the registry.

See if that shows any improvement in your problem.

HTH

YES!!!!

Its working!!!


I re-applied my sound icon, applied the power and also changed the registry systray to f.

I re-started and it appeared.

I unticked the power icon (desktop doesn't need it) and its still there.

The systray registry entry on my sys is now e.


Trev

@lightning slinger: That's not troubleshooting... it's witchcraft!!! Congratulations for the great catch!

@trevor89: Congrats to you, too, for your persistence and successful system recovery. Now, do start creating full back-up images of your boot partition, to never find yourself again in such a situation. I do favor Ghost. But it's not for free, although you can get an original Norton Ghost 2003 package quite cheap on e-Bay and like places. But there are many other options and IcemanND spelled them all out for everybody in the thread Disk Imaging Software. Loose no time, take your pick, and start imaging.

Glad to hear that, but it is strange this problem has only surfaced a couple of times within four years.


Yes, as dencorso says, get a copy of Norton Ghost 2003 from eBay, mine cost £3, hardly breaking the bank at that price. 

Well, the thing is, I ignoreg the comment about backups because, in the situation with the PC that I call a server (because thats what it does, Win98ServerEdition ) it was a recent re-instyall meaning there were no preivious states, not only that but again in the case of PC the icon has never shown the past 2 re-installations.

There is just one thing. On my laptop, where I origonaly had the icon and thought it was cool, the icon doesn't show when usb's are added however it does show for pcmcia cards, namly my network card. Im sure the solution will be the same but according to what I read about the registry entry I would have said it should never appear or always appear?

Trev

Actually it's 2.3e on that particular CD. Apologies for the confusion, it shows I'm not myself lately. Thing is, I moved over to the old house (most likely temporarily) and am not yet familiar with the environment; there's also no Internet access there, reason why I only log in sporadically (from the condo) and am not up-to-date with the news.

The discussion about Using big USB HDDs with Win 9x/ME (0.5 TiB or larger HDDs), which was started by oc_dt, is now split into it's very own thread, and you all can find it here: link.

I have used the version 3.3 on Win98SE, it works fine for this:


But with this don't work (It show a yellow exclamation mark):

Before anything, apply KB240075 UHCD.SYS hotfix and see whether that solves your problem. If that's not enough, then try adding it's VID and PID to usbstor.inf.

The hotfix fixed the problem, thanks.

disaster recovery? how do I' backup restore these files in case something goes wrong ?

---------

Take your pick of a Disk Imaging Software. Boot from a floppy or CD (can be from the CD that has the imaging software) and make a full system partition image. If you happen to have both system and data in the same partition, then image it all. In case anything goes wrong, redeploy the image. You have to create the image of your system before adding anything else, in order to be on the safe side.

It should install OK, on your system, as it is.

You don't need to. But you might want to. In any case, you can do it after installing nusb. Or you can do it before installing nusb. It's indifferent.
