USB mouse to install on 98SE PC


Recommended Posts

I've got a USB optical mouse that I'd like to get working on a 98SE machine, but when installing the drivers I get a popup that asks me to insert the "Windows 98 Second Edition CD-ROM" disk. Am I going about installing the device in the wrong manner, or is there a directory to which I may point the subsequent prompt? It would seem that I need to get a couple of HID* files and I don't have a 98SE CD.

You can try 'browse' and see which file its looking for (it will be typed in the box above file types). And then just look it up on the net - thats what i did on Win98SE.

Yes, I did that for the first file and it asked me for another, I didn't want to have to keep hunting down different files if there were a lot. :x I thought there might be a patch or a directory already containing them..?

Alright, I searched them all out! It works now! But seems like a lot of unneccessary work for something there's probably a patch or complete download for somewhere..
