You need an app that opens .RAR files. Winrar is one. Google for .RAR file opener, and you should get several choices. |

RAR is an archive filetype, like ZIP. WinZip and several other archiving applications will open RAR files. What you do is extract the files within, to see what you've got and for Windows to use them. |

Either of these apps will open RAR files, which are a compressed file similar to a ZIP file: I use the free XAce Plus. Let us know if the driver works once you get it unpacked and installed. If not, there is an unofficial universal driver for Win98SE that I have had very good luck using on a number of systems. |

I don't normally reply to folks that posted from forums that interact with the MS NGs but... That doesn't allow one to package in .RAR format but you can use it to open them. To the OP: Just a guess but it'd be my guess that any USB drivers for 98 should do the trick and, unfortunately, 98 doesn't come with any USB drivers on its own if I recall correctly? I think they either came with ME or 98se first. Poking around various driver sites (driverguide.com for instance) should find your USB drivers and enable you to use the thumb-drive which would (should?) appear just as another drive in windows explorer without any fanfare. Hmm... Maybe I need to load up a 98 VM one of these days to see how much I've forgotten? |

| Re: driver for flash drive pen
thank ya Glen. I've got it downloading and will probably end up losing it BUT I did change the name to 98se_usb_drivers_for_thumbdrive.exe so hopefully a search will reveal it on the day when I find I actually need such a critter. If I could find my old MSDN 98 CD I'd install 98 (not SE) but such appears to have gone missing. I'm sure I have a few versions around here somewhere though. (Today's fun was installing Ubuntu under VPC 2007 beta... *sigh at network*) |
