I have a Gateway computer with windows 98 on it. I installed the drivers for my San Disk 128 MB flash drive and it still won't work. Any ideas on whats wrong and how to fix it?

Its compatible with Windows 98SE, non-compatible with Windows 98.

Is the computer detecting the device at all? The problem may not be in the software, but in the USB port. If your computer's had any jarring, you may have a short or damaged connection, especially if you have a laptop.
If it is detecting the device, but locks up before you can get to the stored information, then your version of Windows may not be compatible with your flash drive.
Or it might just not like you...

Make sure you have all updates for win 98 are you running SE at least? Also update the drivers for the usb ports.

Upgrade to Windows 98 SE (You can find it on the microsoft homepage, trust me), or better yet, upgrade to Windows XP!
