OT: Win98 group?

[Marko]

I cannot find a win98 group on microsoft.public, which should I use?

the question I want to ask is can a USB flash drive be used on win98?

You will have to install drivers from the CD which came with it in Win98, XP
has native drivers for these.

There are lots of win98 groups in English. For starters...
microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion.
And yes you can use a USB flash drive with 98. Just get the drivers for it.

All kinds of microsoft.public.win98. groups

but the answer is yes, but you may need a driver from the manufacturer.

Yes, Win98 does fine with all kinds of USB peripherals. Unlike WinXP,
you'll need a driver from the manufacturer of the device. It should be
on the disk that came with the device, or visit the manufacturer's web
site.

It's OK, most figured since you posted "win98" could not understand how
you could not find same.

Hi, Marko.

I found about 40 NGs in English when I searched msnews.microsoft.com for
"98", using OE6.

You're welcome. You're not dumb at all. Why is it "windowxp," but
"win98"? It's Microsoft who's been incosistent here.
