Flash drives not working on Windows 98 SE? Dell Latitude 6430u

[Isano]

So I have these flash drives which I want to use to import to my laptop, but Windows 98 does not detect any of the flash drives in the device manager.

I have installed this driver, https://electronicnoobblog.com/windows-98-usb-storage-driver-universal-flash-pendrive/

Which I guess worked to get my wireless mouse working, but I still can't get my flash drives working

I also reformatted my flash drives to Fat32, but it still didn't work

 

Also, this might be unrelated but when I try to shut down my computer, it gets stuck on the shut down screen and I have to hard shut down the computer,

Which I heard could be caused by these drivers

Reinstall the hardware driver for your system's USB2 chipset. NUSB incorrectly says to delete these.

As a side note there are traditionally issues with the NUSB in case of non-English installs (or anyway non-matching-languages), you might want to try an alternative, simple, USB mass Storage driver, some info:

If you installed a non-matching language version of NUSB, it is likely part of the problems.

I'll be looking into this thread, but as far as I can tell, language shouldn't be an issue as I have an English install of Windows 98. Except if I misunderstood something
