Hi simbass, welcome to WindowsBBS

98SE usually works well with USB ports, Hardware connecting via USB may be problematic though. Is there any particular device causing issues?

Windows 98 has no built-in drivers for USB. To use any type of USB device with Windows 98 you must obtain driver files from an external source (i.e. not from the Windows installation CD), so if you're buying a USB device to use with Windows 98 only buy one that says on the box that it includes Windows 98 drivers.

If you buy a USB drive that has no Windows 98 drivers supplied with it, you can try using the generic mass storage drivers for Windows 98 that are available on the internet; but there is no guarantee that they will work with your particular device.

Also, bear in mind that you will need a different type of generic driver depending on which version of Windows 98 you have. One type will ONLY work with Windows 98 Second Edition. The other type only work with the original release of Windows 98 (the so-called "first edition ", a.k.a. "Windows 98 Gold "). USB can get very complicated!
