Computer not detecting my pen drive
« on: May 28, 2007, 11:25:00 PM »
Yo I've got a pentium 2 computer(I know its already outdated) ,running on windows 98. Recently I bought a pen drive and though I've already installed the driver required for it to work my P.C isn't detecting it.
Note that my computer has only 2 usb ports to which I've connected a  keyboard and mouse(my PS/2 ports are not working-seems like my computer is going to heaven  :'( ) My question is: Are the drivers for my keyboard and mouse conflicting with the one for the pen drive?

thx for any help.

Are you sure you have the correct driver for the right operating system?
I don't think the mouse and keyboard drivers would affect other drivers. If it is a fairly new pen drive, 98 might not support it.

What brand pen drive do you have?

Hmmm, you have two USB ports and they're already occupied?  How were you planning to connect the pen drive?   :o
