Windows 98 SE and UHCD.SYS

[shaz]

Recently my computer crashed and although I was able to restore the registry,
the usb ports no longer work. I get the following message: "Ntkern.vxd
device loaders for this device could not load the device driver (code2)."
the solution is suppose to be to download the UHCD.sys file. which i have
done. However when i ran the exe file i could not see where on my pc it had
been installed and the current uhcd.sys file has not been modified/deleted.
Also after restarting my pc the usb ports still do not work. any suggestions
as to where i am going wrong?

thanks

1. UHCD.SYS belongs by default in c:\windows\system32\drivers
2. Standard procedure for hardware difficulties is:
-- get updated drivers and store in a known place
-- via / Control Panel / System / Device Manager
simply remove the device(s) then
-- reboot and follow the prompts to restore drivers if
the boot process fails to find "New Hardware" you can
use the applet / Control Panel / Add Hardware.
Did you try this? Repost here with results.

msKB #240075 - USB Devices May Not Work in Win98SE

.... may apply. There's an updated [UHCD.sys] file.
