DougB Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Within the next couple of weeks, i plan on wiping my main system (P4, 845, USB 2.0) and doing a clean Win98SE install with uSP 3.1. But first, before i do that -- as a just-to-see-what-happens experiment -- i'm going to try uSP 3.1 over the pre-existing Win98SE installation... with all my apps, utilities, drivers, updates (e.g,, uSP 3.0b4, 98SE2ME, etc), extensions (e.g., KernelEx, RP9, etc) already in place. However, i have a few lingering USB-related questions... so i don't screw it up, and hopefully my feedback will be more meaningful. I know you have to unplug all external USB devices, then install Main Updates, then go into Safe Mode on reboot and remove "all current USB/EHCI drivers + controllers" (as it says). Question 1: Does this mean only USB 2.0/EHCI? (Or all USB, including EHCI (1.0, 1,1, 2.0)?) On my system, when no USB devices are plugged in, the following list is the only Device Manager category which appears to be USB related. I assume all of them are "system" devices (i.e., not plug-in devices). Note that i have Intel Chipset Driver and NUSB 3.3 already installed (my notation "(x3)" means there are 3 of these listed -- the system unit has 6 physical USB sockets): Universal Serial Bus controllers Intel(R) 82891DB/DBM (ICH4 Family) USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 24CD Standard Universal PCI to USB Controller (x3) USB 2.0 Root Hub USB Root Hub (x3)Question 2: Which of the above need to be removed? (I assume "USB 2.0 Root Hub" does, but any of the others?) Question 3: In Safe Mode, do i need to remove non-mass-storage plug-in USB devices? (For example, things like a cable modem or scanner)? Thanks, and i'll report back how it goes.... - Doug B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyb Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) I even asked that question when 3.0 was first released. And I read the instructions. I can understand a question becoming boring torture. Maybe a quick edit of the black release instructions might help. Something like .....---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------USB 2.0 NOTICE - Unplug all USB devices. Install main updates.Remove ALL current USB/EHCI drivers + controllers from Device Manager in safe mode. "All" means "ALL YOU SEE". You wouldn't believe how many people don't get what "all" means.Then, REBOOT!Let all drivers redetect on startup. Plug in USB devices one at a time.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I'd certainly understand that wording. Of course, you'll still get a few who still won't get it and will ask again.By the way, I'm still having so much fun with 3.1 as well as a few of the Revolutions skins on several old systems. I'm sort of bouncing between these installs and checking out windows 8 on other systems. Such a long trip from the dos days.

Fredledingue Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 LOL.I asked the question about "all" devices two months ago and I see that we are still talking about it today.I also find wierd that one should remove all USB devices eventhought they have nothing to do with storage.As a result you have to browse through all the system device classification tree just in case a USB thing would be there, where you least expected. As RLoew said, you may find out that your mouse and keyboard are also USB devices. How do you proceed once they are disabled, I don't know.Finaly you will have to reinstall half a dozen NON-storage devices for they came with a USB connection.But if these are the instruction...

PROBLEMCHYLD Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 You guys can direct all USB related questions to members Tihiy, MDGx, and maximus-decim.They are the founders of the USB packages. You can ask them why all devices should be removed. I followed their instructions and gave them to you.The next version of the Service Pack will (NOT) have any usb support.

LoneCrusader Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) I also find wierd that one should remove all USB devices eventhought they have nothing to do with storage.Because NUSB 3.5 (and by extension the Service Pack) replaces all of the USB Driver stack files. That includes ALL USB devices, not just storage.If one installs either of these packages without first removing devices, it can lead to problems, such as those described by Drugwash in the NUSB thread.

bphlpt Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 The next version of the Service Pack will (NOT) have any usb support. EnjoyPROBLEMCHYLD, I hope you will reconsider your decision and continue to include the latest Maximus Decim Native USB, now at ver.3.6, in your Service Pack. While I completely understand your frustration with users not reading the instructions then complaining to you when it doesn't work, I think the convenience for those that do read and follow the instructions should override that. You should not feel required to explain yourself to those that complain, a simple "RTFM" could suffice. If they continue to complain, I'm sure one of the other users will be glad to step in and tell them explicitly that they have to remove ALL USB devices, even if they have to borrow an old style keyboard and mouse to use until the USB stack is reinstalled. If rloew could verify that the Service Pack can be installed in Safe Mode without removing devices that could be an alternate solution.Cheers and Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s repetitious, so maybe you guys can deal with it. How many times one must say (REMOVE ALL)?Finding ALL Devices may not be so easy, especially if using USB Keyboards and/or Mice.

Otherwise they would be found after the Controller Drivers are installed.Someone should test different USB Devices to see which ones need to be removed or not. Some, like the Keyboard and Mouse, probably do not need to be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomasz86 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) I've compared some of the files from SP3.CAB with the ones I have in my system. I don't know if they are compatible with Win98SE but this is what I found out:ASYCFILT.DLL 2.40.4530.0 => 2.40.4534.0msjet40.dll 4.0.9511.0 => 4.0.9514.0OLEAUT32.DLL 2.40.4520.0 => 2.40.4532.1RICHED20.DLL 5.30.23.1230 => 5.30.23.1231T2EMBED.DLL 5.0.2195.7348 => 5.0.2195.7349You can find them here:http://www.evernote.com/shard/s144/sh/5b1f1a16-df65-48bb-bd61-a4418ef6afee/bcdfed00f8a08f60be6d06286b2243afI also don't know about the compatiblity of the MS VC++ libraries but I think I may have some newer versions in UURollup.

jaclaz Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 How many times one must say (REMOVE ALL)?42 (at least).How many roads must a man walk down before .....?Approximately the same number of times one must say RTFM and ground ALL equipment used to unbrick the 7200.110s JFYI:etc., etc.I guess 50% of my posts in the related thread ONLY provide these three directions:Read the read-me-first FIRSTdo EXACTLY what is in it and in the advised guideground ALL items (and loop to #1)BUT specifically, and if I may , there should be a way to add in the installer/whatever *something* that automatically removes anything that needs to be removed prior of the installtion of NUSB it would be a "quantum leap" for a next version....jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
