    If you bought one that came in a tiny package, the drivers must be downloaded from the site listed on the packaging.

    I am having a difficult time finding this device. Where did you purchase it?

    my father bought it for me.

    it's strange but it seems not having a brand.

    i plugged into another pc running xp and it works fine.
    and in the description there's just written "standard". no brand info.

    ?!?

    aren't there standard drivers for this items?

    Yes there are standard drivers, but standard what.
    Many pen drive manufacturers use different ways of accessing their memory. Still Googling.

    Install the device go throught the install process. When Windows indicates it can't find the driver. hit ok and then look in device manager and confirm that it has an exclamation infront of it.

    Are you comfortable with using the registry.

    Open regedit, and search for usb.
    The device should be listed under ENUM.
    If I can get the vendor id I may still be able to help you find the manufacturer.

    I will keep searching and get back online in the morning.

    Did you actually check the packaging as mentioned earlier?

    Theres nearly always a site listed somewhere on the box to download drivers for Win98 on any of these pen drives etc.

    WinXP, 2000 and ME will load their own drivers, but 98 needs the pens own drivers from the manufacturers website installing to work.
    If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.
