    via usb 2.0 not working on win98

    hello, I purchased a via VT83C572 PCI to USB 2.0 card which worked properly at first on my win2k. however i had to format my disk and having an old pc decided to install win98 instead o win2k. ever since i have been unable to make my usb card work correctly. I`ve used the cd drivers, i`ve downloaded them from via's web site , well i've tried everything but still have the same problem with usb root hub. perhaps i should upgrade my bios but i'm worried i might cause more conflicts instead of solving anything. i'd apreciatte any help since i don't really know as much as wished to about pcs.

    in case it's useful i have a pc chips M748LMRT mobo with a sis 620 chipset and a PIII 550 processor.

    Welcome to Windrivers DerSteppenWolf

    this site has some good information it may help.

    What is the exact problem with the usb controller/hub? what device manager error code?
    Is there a an irq assigned to usb in bios?
    Have you tried turning off the onboard usb in bios?
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
