Checking for USB Support on Windows 98
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a relatively new method for your camera to
communicate with a personal computer. A USB connection is faster than an
RS-232 serial connection.
USB requires special computer hardware and software features, including a USB
enabled motherboard, USB connections, and Windows 98. Most computers
manufactured prior to January 1997 do not meet these requirements.
1
Verify that a USB connector is present.
This connector is normally on the back of the computer.
2
Right-click the My Computer icon.
3
Click Properties in the pop-up menu.
4
Verify the operating system is Windows 98.
5
Click the Device Manager tab.
6
Verify that the Universal Serial Bus Controller is present without any yellow or
red indicators.
7
Click Universal Serial Bus Controller.
8
Verify that a controller and USB Root hub are listed.
9
Double-click USB Root hub.
10
Verify that device status is “The device is working properly.”
If all of the above conditions are met, your computer supports a USB
connection.
