Hi there, hope someone can help me with this matter.
I bought a flash drive usb 2.0 at the university yesterday. Used it at
their computer centre and everything was ok (they have WinXp). Then I
go home, plug the pen drive in my prehistorical pc, and it tells me he
needs a driver. Good God, I dunno what to do!
I press ok a couple of times, reboot the pc and the pen drive is now
not even recognised anymore when plugged into the usb door, and the
control panel tells me there's a problem with the main display
adapter. I can only view 16 colours at 640*480 now.
I have win 98se but lost the installation cds, probably while moving
flat. What should I do? I believe it is a drivers issue but I'm fairly
lost!
cheers,
tom

To get back to where you were:

On the Start Menu, select Shut Down and Restart in MSDOS Mode. At the
Windows prompt, type: scanreg /restore and hit enter. Once the
registry restore screen appears, select the date of the registry that you
wish to restore by highlighting it and then click enter. If you see a
registry named: Rbbad.cab, that is a copy of the registry that has already
been replaced.

Next, go to the flash drive maker's web site and see if there are drivers
for W98SE for your device. If not, try here:
