USB won't install correctly on Win98
HKLM\Enum\USB
this registry key might be good to know if your USB driver doesn't install properly. sometimes the information under this key needs to be removed so it can be 'found' again - as always, be sure and back up your registry before deleting it :)
there are many documents on how to modify this information. i just mentioned it because someone couldn't get a USB printer to install today. This is the first thing that popped into my head, but I wound up 'fixing' it by noticing there was a USB port under printer properties. I installed a Generic Text Only printer pointing to the USB port. Just for kicks, sent a test page and the darn thing came out perfect !! ..then installed HP driver software and pretended the printer was on LPT1. After install, switch to USB printer port and test just fine.

Now just what is all the fuss about ADware & SpyWare ?
Adware and Spyware are programs that get on your computer without your permission and cause all kinds of problems. Slow internet, slow everything, errors, lock-ups & crashes very well could be indications of adware infestation.
Experience has proven SpyBot to be the champion at not only cleaning up an infested system, but it's the best at preventing these programs from being installed behind the scenes and without your permission .
Sometimes SpyBot has a hard time cleaning a system. When I have that trouble, I use "HiJack This!" to remove startup trouble; then reboot to use those settings. This program is designed for more advanced users. There are online forums where you can get help identifying what items might be causing the trouble.
These two programs are free and are listed on my home page
here are some other articles and strategies that may help:
