Thread: Operating system doesn't support USB 1.1

I have a new expensive USB device that uses USB 1.1 but for some reason it is not detected on my Windows 98 operating system. Does this OS support USB 1.1 in the first place? If not, then will upgrading to Windows XP solve the problem for me?

SOLUTION: No, Windows 98 does not support USB 1.1, It works perfectly fine for USB 1.0devices though. Now that you have already purchased the flash drive and are ready to upgrade to a newer operating system, Windows XP would be a good solution. However, as far as supporting a USB 1.1 device is concerned, you will need to install Windows XP with Service Pack 1. Also make sure that the settings in the Device Manager are configured to accommodate the latest, correct drivers for your USB port.
