USB ports not recognize flash drives

I was just given a Gateway Performance 550 windows 98-based computer. It is plug-and-play, have two USB ports. Printer and scanner included work on plug-and-play. The computer will not see even a device plugged in when you insert a flash drive. Should readers flash works with Windows 98, or should I switch to XP for the software to recognize? I read that some parts used USB 1 format and taking the computer earlier. It is supposed to be dimensionally identical to the USB 2, but run a little slow, but always interchangeable. Maybe the USB 2 flash drives are not interchangeable.

I'm not the best expert on all this, but I don't think that Flash drives were even invented where 98 was around.

The 98 machine would not have the drivers for a Flash drive.

You can visit the web site of the manufacturer of the USB and see if there are 98 compatible drivers there.

  • Satellite P10-304: USB Ports not recognize anything

    I have a Satellite P10-304 and the USB ports not recognize anything that are attached to them. Device Manager tells me that they are enbaled and works correctly. What can be wrong with them or what can I do?

    Hello

    One of my friends has the same unit on the work and everything works perfectly. It uses the USB hub too and have many external devices connected to the unit.

    By the way: something like who can occur if the external device is not removed correctly use safely remove hardware option. If you try to connect any other device after that in most cases it is not recognized at all. In this case, you can restart the device or remove ports from the Device Manager and use the hardware detection to find them again.

  • Last update of Firefox do not recognize Flash drive

    I restarted my computer this morning, as he ran a little slugglish. Restarting launched as well an update of Firefox and a Flash update to newer versions. I uninstalled Flash several times with the Flash uninstaller. I even brought back to 10.3. Same result. Firefox is not simply recognizing the installation and I am unable to view Flash content. On any page that requires it, the "Install missing Plugin" button appears. Whether 10.3 or the last 11.4, there does not exist in the Add-ons Manager. I installed the latest real Player as well, in which case it had something to do with the question. No apparent connection. No problems with the facilities themselves don't have been experienced - everything going as planned.

    Any ideas?

  • To install the new eSATA / SATA to USB 2.0 hard drive in an external enclosure but the computer does not recognize the drive in disk management

    I have an old computer with installed Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and 3.  I bought a new hard drive and also a new external hard drive for her case.  I have correctly installed the hard drive inside the enclosure, and I think that I have installed correctly (in the motherboard SATA port) eSATA port, according to the manufacturer's instructions.  I plugged everything... first eSATA, then power and power switch.  I restarted the computer, and I chose to analyze disks in disk management.  However, the new drive is not recognized.  The SATA port on the motherboard could not work or did I buy the bad, perhaps, hard drive enclosure for my system?  Or something related to the software?  Thank you.

    Hi Donnadream,

    Connect the hard drive to another port and check if that makes a difference

  • CD/DVD does not recognize the drive.

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.
