All, I bought 2 KT7As earlier this year and had to re-format one system hard drive this last weekend. I reinstalled all required hardware/software AND Win 98 se. I cannot get my USB printer to work because the CD that came with the MB (ABIT KT-1.30M) does not have a driver for Win 98 on it? The driver installation software asks if you want to install the USB driver for either Win 98 or 2000 but if you look at the CD under Win explorer there are actually no files in the /VIAUSB/Win98 directory! Has anyone else had this problem and could anyone help me to get my USB devices to work? Thanks ....

Just install it from where you saw that it said install USB for 98 or 2000. Otherwise get the drivers from the printer company. Does 98 recognize it being there?

I did install as you said but since there are no files present it fails to install ANY drivers. The software for the printer is installed correctly but the computer cannot communicate with the computer because the USB drivers are not installed.

Go here and download the via and microsoft patch and try it. Go here
Unplug your USB printer then plug it back in after you do the patch
