USB flash drive causes system to crash

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

You haven't told us if USB 2.0 is enabled on the machine, in addition to the
earlier USB 1.0 or 1.1.
If so, there should be separate listings for the two types of USB
controllers in Device Manager, and they should all be UnMarked.

The device Manager lists it as INTEL 82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host,
hardware vers. 001. I suppose this is USB 1.0? The flash drive is USB 2.0,
but said it is compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1.

You are correct, the flash drive *should* be backward compatible with USB
1.0 and 1.1.

Try the following KB article :-
"General USB Troubleshooting in Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and
Windows Me."
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;263218

and try searching the KB for other "USB" articles - there are quite a few!.

Might also be worth 'Removing' any/USB Devices and Drivers shown in Device
Manager when in Safe Mode and rebooting to let WinMe re-install the USB
controllers again.

In the meantime you might find this useful :-

If you have a copy of the Win98 CD, then see the following URL and try the
usbview.exe on the CD (NB It's not on the WinME CD) and see if you are able
to determine whether it recognises the controllers correctly.
"How to Use the Windows 98 USB Device Viewer Utility"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;272584

You can download usbview.exe from:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/services/technet/samples/ps/win...

Very nicely done, Mart.

I suspect mdf will discover that his USB 1.0/1.1 system is running fine, but
the new flash device is causing the BSOD.
A different vendor's tool will be needed.
