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.

Re: driver for flash drive pen

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*)
