You may have Window 98 problems, which require a clean install of Windows
98. Clean install means reformat HD and install Windows 98 then all your
programs.
Do the above as a last resort!

Windows 98 plain or 98 Second Edition? If plain or first edition then you
may have problems with the USB. Be sure to run Windows update.

The first thing I would do is download the latest driver for the PSC 2510.
Choose your model (there are two). English link below.
