I just got my G2 w/ interlink USB .its all installed , BUT
when it ask's for the controler to be connected via usb ,
it wont read it ,sometimes it will tell me to download a driver .
then it will tell me to install windows 98 second edition cd .
i only have the windows 98 update cd ... are these cds the same?
do i need to buy the complete win 98se cd? as apposed to the win 98se update cd ?
i upgraded my computor a while back with only this upgrade cd ...... AM I MISSING SOMTHING ? PLEASE HELP ... THANKS Scott

Yes, the disks are the same. Use your upgrade CD, it should work just fine.

WELL , IT DOSNT WORK ....IT KEEPS SAYING IT NEEDS A 98 SE DISK ?
NOW WHAT ? ...

Scotty740

Sorry, I misread your post. I though you had the 98se upgrade disk. I think that you need 98se to recognize USB on the computer.

You might try searching the microsoft website and see if there is a driver there for win98 and USB.

you have to download or find a new usb port driver, yours is too old... you can probobly most likely get it off the internet

OR---- Go out and buy a USB Board for 29 bucks that plugs
into your mother board ~S~ might be cheaper then the 98se disk.

Or Barrow disk from a friend?

wink wink* windoze 98 SE cd's are VERY EASY to COPY -

Scotty740

A lot of places online sell 98SE at bargain basement prices now that it is a few generations behind. I'd really recommend updating to SE as it fixes a lot of problems with 98 and ads some new features.

I usually never condone coping software as I have worked as and for developers.

Why don't you go to the top?
If you spent $200.00 for G2 you can certainly afford
a better OS...as in XP. I have upgraded 3 systems to
WinXP Home/Pro from Win98. A definate boost in
in 3d apps. I don't want to start an OS flame war...
Just an Idea. :idea:

Something else that might be causing problems. Are you using a VIA chipset mother board? There are known problems with the USB ports with that chipset.

You might want to browse around here

I have now. I read the link.. Sounds pretty kewl!

Scotty740

What are you going to be using it with? Radio/Simulator. It sounds nice but has a hefty price. Can get RealFlight G2 with USB interlink/transimtter box/interface for just over twice the money.

i recently bought this usb interface for $40, including shipping. works excellent.
