Urge Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I am trying to install a MS wireless keyboard and mouse(MS says only for winXP and Vista) on a newly installed system with 98SE2ME KERNELEX vo.3.6 Maximum-Decim native USB drivers etc. all updates, no driver issues, everything works great. Computer is a pentium III 500MHz HP Pavilion, Is it possible? I get "this program has performed an illegal operation etc" when I try to start the CD.

tomw Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I can't tell you about the Microsoft product, but I got one from Fry's that works. Made by Inter-Media, or BTC, with the label "BTC 521URFII". sticker: $29.99 sku 4771659 (I think) Maybe if you go back to the main 'stickified' projects or go here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=71476to the KernelEx: Install + run NTx/XP software/games in 98/98 SE/ME project it may make your KB/Mouse work. I wonder if the CD is an NTFS, if so, you might be able to use one of the NTFS reader programs that lets 98 look at NTFS file systems to read the drivers from the CD.tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Win98 computer reads the disk so it isn't ntfs. I have searched and I'm just not coming up with anything. I thought for sure that on this forum with all the amazing people here modding Win98 that this would be cake. I have to believe that it is possible but just not worth someones time especially if there are some components that work. Hey, is it possible that drivers from another model keyboard/mouse would work? Is there such a thing as generic drivers for these input devices? I'm just askin...Urge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroOS Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 You could try the last Windows 9x Microsoft software.Keyboard: http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/1...22EngALLMsi.exeMouse: http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/8...12EngALLMsi.exeWhen installing, you will have to select some model close to the one you have since it probably will not have the correct one.

I was a slacker for not trying this when I saw it a few days ago but it worked great today. I just knew it had to be possible but wasn't clever enough to figure it out, thanks again RetroOSUrge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
