When I had Win 98 SE I found that each maker of those thumb/flash drives had their own drivers.  I never heard of a generic driver for them. Unless someone else has, the only way is to download drivers from all the makers you can find to see if one will work.  Does the driver you have work for any of the other two?  If not, that may mean you are not going to have much luck finding a generic driver.  These companies like to keep things proprietary, much more profitable.
