Some USB stuff will work with WinSE (note SPECIFICALLY the SE part).
If you get something, make them promise it will work with YOUR WinSE
(or you will return it...)
Good luck. Rick Glazier

I finally got my new computer set up after it sitting 6 months in the box in my living room. It has Windows Vista Home Premium. My
antique 300mhz computer has Windows 98SE on it. The new computer doesn't have a floppy drive, and the old one doesn't had a CD
burner. Can't use Vista's transfer program because it isn't compatible with Win98. I plugged a flash drive into the old computer
and it searched for a driver, but couldn't find one for it.
I've been emailing stuff to myself and then trying to put it where it belongs on the new computer.
I have lots of photos, email and a few simple programs to transfer. I hope I can get all into Vista somehow.
There MUST be a better way!??????? I have been looking for a cheap external USB drive that i can use with both computers and maybe
do the transfer that way. I don't know much about this sort of thing and almost nothing about Vista. I almost bought a USB floppy
drive today, but it didn't say it would work with Vista...just XP and earlier.
Suggestions, PLEASE!!!!!! Please feel free to email me.
Thanks any and all.
