[aclug-L] Re: Windows 98se + USB question

["michael holmes" <aerospaced@xxxxxxx>]

My only thought would be to go to the registry.  Try to back up the
registry tree from the working computer (if both windoz 98) and restore
it to the broken one. FIRST!  BACK UP THE REGISTRY ON THE BROKEN
COMPUTER SO YOU HAVE A RESTORE POINT IF THIS CAUSES WEIRD STUFF!
         Run regedit-
         -then look at the tree in Hkey_machine\software\[brand name of
the printer software].

I lost my job a week ago, I am open if anybody knows of one.  I am a c++
programmer

Subject: [aclug-L] Windows 98se + USB question


Maybe somebody here can give an answer other than 'REFORMAT + REINSTALL'
the 
whole operation system on my wife's computer....

She was using a 'Lexmark X1150' printer.. which quit printing so we
though 
that it was due to a printer failure..

So went and purchased a new 'Brother MFC DC-110C' printer, guess what
this 
new printer did not want to print either?!?!?

So took both printer and installed them on another system and they both 
printed with no error....

So took them back to my wife's system... they would not print.. but
would 
scan, and with the "Brother" I could access the media card slots and 
read/write to the media card...

But when we would try to print we would get communication error(s)!?!?!

Any hints as to what "Win'98se" USB or other driver might be damaged and
how 
to repair [spool32.exe?]

She does have an older "SiS" 'PC-Chips' motherboard which uses the "SiS
USB 
7001" chip set but have downloaded the patches for the chip set.....

The USB ports work with her 'PALM', and a game controller with no 
errors........
