<font color=blue>1.Download latest drivers online to folder c:\driver\[device name]
-> You will have to extract it after you download it of course.
2. Exit windows.
3. Run safe mode.
4. Uninstall all gaming devices.
5. Restart 98.
6. Run self installing applications for gaming devices.
-> You may prefer to just plug'n install, but make sure you use the new driver.
I know this seems a simplistic approach, but... it works just too many times not to be first try.
