=============

Digital HiNote Ultra 2000

-------------------------

Due to problems with power management on this

computer, Windows does not have an option to
switch to Standby using the Start/Shutdown menu.
Contact Digital for an updated BIOS with improved
power management support.

Problems with Power Control Panel Settings

------------------------------------------

Some computers do not let Windows fully control

power management. If you find that changing the
Standby, Monitor, or Hard Drive timeout values
in the Power Control have no effect, your computer's
own power management settings are overriding the
Windows settings. Open your computers power
management Setup program and disable any Standby,
Suspend, Monitor, or Hard Drive timeout values.
After you do this, you should be able to control
these settings from the Windows Power Management
control panel.

Compaq Presario 4834 and Non-Compaq Monitors

--------------------------------------------

If your Presario 4834 is not connected to a Compaq

monitor with USB ports, be sure that your BIOS is
also configured to not use the Compaq monitor with
USB ports. If you have the BIOS set to use the Compaq
monitor, but do not have a Compaq monitor connected,
then your computer will turn off when you choose the
Standby command. Contact Compaq for an updated BIOS
that fixes this problem.

PCI systems
-----------

If the video device is configured by the BIOS to

use an IRQ and you use the secondary PCI IDE controller
in your computer, your video will work only in VGA mode.
To load the accelerated Windows 98 driver for your video,
disable the secondary PCI IDE controller in the BIOS
if it is not controlling an IDE device. Additionally, you
may have to disable it in Device Manager by double-clicking
System in Control Panel. An alternative (if supported by
the BIOS) is to disable the IRQ of the video device.

IBM ThinkPad Models 750 (all 750 series except 750ce)

-----------------------------------------------------

A new BIOS that solves several problems with power

management is available from the IBM bulletin board.
Download the latest System Program Service Diskette
for the ThinkPad 750 from the bulletin board service
(BBS). See your hardware documentation for information
about accessing the IBM bulletin board.

IBM ThinkPad Models 755cd, cx, ce, cse, cdv (but not 755c)
----------------------------------------------------------

Microsoft and IBM are in the process of solving the following

known problems:

1. Mwave is lost if you have more than 8 MB of memory.

- IBM has updated drivers available.

If you install Windows 98 Second Edition in a

different folder, Mwave will not work unless you
reinstall the Mwave drivers using IBM Mwave Setup
program disks. This is by design. The Windows 3.1
drivers are required to run the Mwave chip.

2. If you install Windows 98 Second Edition in the same

folder that contains your current version of Windows,
Mwave will continue to function.

3. Device Manager indicates problems with the infrared port.

- IBM is updating the Infrared virtual device driver (VxD)
so that it works correctly.

4. Docking is not supported.

- IBM should soon release fixes to its Plug and
Play BIOS, which enables full Windows 98 Plug and
Play and docking support. For updates to the System
Program Service Diskette for your model of ThinkPad,
check the IBM bulletin board. See your hardware
documentation for information about accessing the
bulletin board.

5. There are power management problems with the

Suspend and Resume commands.
- If you have a 1994 BIOS, you can usually resolve
these problems by upgrading to the latest Flash BIOS
revision from 1995. You can find it on CompuServe,
ThinkPad forum, or on the IBM bulletin board. See
your IBM hardware documentation for information about
accessing the bulletin board.

6. Using Mwave versions earlier than 1.2 can cause problems.

- Bugs in earlier versions of Mwave can cause serious
problems when Mwave is run on Windows 98 Second Edition.
For more information, call the IBM PC HelpCenter.

IBM ThinkPad Dock II

--------------------

If you use IBM ThinkPad Dock II, disable the BIOS

for the Adaptec 1530P SCSI controller in the docking
station before you start your computer when it is
docked. If you do not, your computer will freeze
repeatedly. This controller works fine in protected
mode even without the BIOS enabled, so you should not
lose access to any SCSI devices.

>>>To disable the BIOS:

1. Restart your computer while it is docked.

2. Press CTRL+A to start the Adaptec SCSISelect utility.

3. Choose Configure/View Host Adapter Settings.

4. Choose Advanced Configuration Options.

5. Change the setting for Host Adapter BIOS to Disabled.

6. Press ESC until you are prompted to exit the utility.

When you exit, the computer will restart.

Another solution is to disable the BIOS completely,

thus enabling the adapter to run completely in Plug
and Play mode. The BIOS resources are allocated
dynamically at Windows 98 startup. However, this
solution requires that you change a DIP switch inside
the dock station. For details about disabling the SCSI
adapter BIOS, refer to your Dock II manual.

Micron M5-PI Series (P-60, P-66)

--------------------------------

Before you install Windows 98 Second Edition, make

sure the BIOS read/write jumper (W22) is set to the
read-only position. If you try to install Windows 98
Second Edition with this jumper in the read\write
position, it may cause BIOS corruption. For more
information, contact Micron Technologies.

Micron P90/100
---------------

Before you install Windows 98 Second Edition, make sure

your BIOS version is N15 or later. For more information,
contact Micron Technologies.

NEC Versa M and AT&T Globalyst

------------------------------

If you use NEC Versa M and AT&T Globalyst, set

the BIOS setting for PCMCIA Power to Enabled before
running the PC Card (PCMCIA) wizard to enable the
Windows 98 PCMCIA support. The default setting
is disabled.

>>>To enable the PCMCIA Power setting:

1. Restart your computer.

2. When the cursor changes to a rectangle, press F1.

3. When the BIOS configuration program is ready,

 select Power, and then change the PCMCIA Power
setting to Enabled.

4. Save these settings.

Winbook XP
----------

A problem on the Winbook XP can cause the

keyboard to function incorrectly. The workaround
is to disable Windows 98 power status polling.

then click Settings.

5. Make sure that the Disable Power Status Polling

check box is selected.

6. Click OK to save your changes.

HP OmniBook 600C
----------------

The Omnibook PCMCIA controller is supported

via special drivers in the Drivers folder on
the CD version of Windows 98 Second Edition, or
via the Windows Drivers Library (WDL) on various
online services. In the Drivers folder on the CD,
refer to the Readme file for installation instructions.

The OmniBook also requires a special mouse driver for

Windows 98. Windows 98 Second Edition Setup preserves
and uses this driver when you upgrade from an earlier
version of Windows. If you installed Windows 98 Second
Edition in a new folder on an OmniBook, copy the HP
Obmouse.drv file into the Windows 98\System folder,
and then change the following lines in your System.ini
file:

[boot]
mouse.drv=obmouse.drv

[386Enh]
mouse=*vmd
DEC Hi Note Ultra
------------------

SCANNERS
========

Hewlett Packard SCSI SCL Flatbed Scanners

-----------------------------------------

This includes IIc, IIcx, 3c, 4c, 4p, 5p, and 6100c.
The push button on the 5p is fully supported. Of the
HP Twain data sources, neither PictureScan nor DeskScan
is included in Windows 98 Second Edition. These are
provided on the CD that came with your scanner. A simple
Twain data source is included for these scanners in
Windows 98 Second Edition. If PictureScan or DeskScan
is installed on your system before you upgrade to Windows
98 Second Edition, it will still be available and the
simple data source will be hidden.

Drivers for the SCSI cards shipped with HP scanners

are not included in this release. You must install the

from the Logitech bulletin board or from CompuServe.

VIDEO CAPTURE DEVICES

=====================

Kodak DVC-300
-------------

The Kodak DVC-300 USB digital camera is not supported

in Windows 98 Second Edition. Kodak has a version of
the DVC-300 software available from their Web site at
http://www.kodak.com. When upgrading to Windows 98
Second Edition, this camera will show the following
message in the device manager for this device:
"Kodak DVC needs update. Go to http://www.kodak.com."

Windows Device Manager Video Capture Devices

and Video for Windows Applications
--------------------------------------------

Applications that use the Video for Windows 1.1 (VFW)

interfaces also use drivers that conform to the VfW 1.1
driver interfaces. However, with the new Windows Device
Manager (WDM) video capture interfaces in Windows 98,
applications can no longer use the VfW interfaces to
directly communicate with these WDM-based devices.
Windows 98 Second Edition includes a software layer that
translates VfW 1.1 interfaces into WDM video capture interfaces.
This translation software works only for video capture
devices on external busses (USB and 1394) in Windows 98.
Analog capture devices (such as PCI cards with video
decoder chips that use WDM drivers) cannot use this
translation software. The original VfW drivers for these
analog capture devices will continue to work but they
cannot be used in combination with the newer WDM drivers.
An updated version of this translation software is
available at http://www.microsoft.com/support.
For information, search for "Video for Windows WDM".

MODEMS
======

Modem Properties
----------------

To use your modem with the built-in communications

features of Windows 98 Second Edition, including
HyperTerminal and Dial-Up Networking, you must configure
your modem in the Modem Properties dialog box.

>>> To open the dialog box:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click

Control Panel.

2. Double-click Modems.

Settings made in the Modem Properties dialog box do

not affect modem operation in programs designed for

Modem Detection
---------------

If Windows 98 Second Edition detects your modem as a

Standard Modem, or incorrectly detects the make and model,
click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel and
then double-click Modems. Use the Change button in the
Install New Modem wizard to make a different selection.
However, if you manually select an incorrect type, your
modem may not work with Windows 98 Second Edition
communications features. In such cases, double-click Modems
in Control Panel, remove the modem, and then add it as one of
the Standard Modem types again.

When configured for Standard Modem, Windows 98 Second Edition

uses your modem's factory default settings. The modem will make
optimal high-speed connections with Windows 98 communications
features. However, you cannot adjust certain modem settings,
such as speaker volume and cellular protocols.

Racal modems
------------

If you have a Racal modem, do not use detection in the

Install New Modem wizard. Instead, click Don't Detect My
Modem, and then pick one of the standard modem types. If
you have already run detection and your modem is not
responding, turn the modem off and then back on.

Minitel (France)
----------------

Some modems may not be able to connect to French Minitel

in HyperTerminal by using the Windows 98 Second Edition
default settings.

>>>To correct this problem:

1. Check your modem manual for a command that enables

6. Set the value equal to "3000" for a 3-second delay.

TAPE DRIVE DETECTION
====================

Plug and Play software does not detect tape drives.

Tape drive detection is a function of the drivers
provided with the Windows 98 Second Edition Backup
program or of the backup software that came with the
drive. As a result, without a backup program installed
on your computer, the only tape drives that appear in
Device Manager are SCSI tape drives, which may appear
as either an unknown device in Device Manager or a
generic tape drive.

However, most backup programs do detect tape drives,

so don't be concerned if your tape drive does not
appear in Device Manager. If your backup software does
not detect your tape drive, contact the company
that wrote the software.

ZIP TOOLS AND THE IOMEGA PARALLEL ZIP DISK

==========================================

In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click

the Zip drive, and then click Format. The IOMEGA Format
window displays an option for a full format of

blue-screen, fatal-exception error may occur:

A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C3C64C51

in VXD IOMEGA (01) + 00000CB5. The current
application will be terminated. Pressing any key
closes the Explorer window.

To correct this problem, contact IOMEGA and obtain a

new Iomega.vxd file. Click Start, point to Find, and then
click Files or Folders. Find the old Iomega.vxd file and
replace it with the newer version.

ISDN DRIVERS
============

USR Sportster ISDN 128K

-----------------------

This includes upgrading from Windows 95 while running

USR 5.3 Drivers

It is recommended that USR Sportster ISDN 128K users

update to driver version 5.4 from 3COM at
http://totalservice.usr.com, before upgrading to
Windows 98 Second Edition.

If you have already upgraded to Windows 98 Second Edition

with driver version 5.3 installed and have problems such
as Dial-Up Networking reporting that "The computer you are
dialing is not responding," you can make a note of your
ISDN configuration and then remove your ISDN adapter and
drivers. Then, install the USR 5.3 drivers.

Using the Diamond NetCommander ISDN - 128K - Multilink PPP

----------------------------------------------------------

It is recommended that NetCommander users configure

their adapters to connect at 64K, without Multilink PPP.

Both Diamond and Microsoft are looking into a known

problem with running the NetCommander ISDN under
Windows 98 with Multilink PPP. It is recommended that
you check both the Diamond and Microsoft Web sites for
updated NetCommander drivers.

Second Edition is listed in the Documentation Library
(dbinstll.pdf) and the Databurst FAQs.

Teles ISDN Adapters

-------------------

Customers have reported that the 3.26 German driver

version does work properly under Windows 98; however,
there are known problems using the Teles 3.23 CAPI
driver under Windows 98 Second Edition.

For CAPI driver version 3.23I and 3.26, users need to

install the adapter before installing the TELES application
package (OnlinePowerPack 5.0 or 6.0). If you installed the
application package first, you have to delete the registry
key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\TELES

and its subkeys before installing the adapter. This problem

is fixed in driver versions 3.26I and 3.28.

The Teles TAPI service provider from the driver release

3.23i does not work under Windows 98 Second Edition. You
must remove it manually using the Telephony Control Panel.

Please check the Teles Web site at http://www.teles.de or

http://www.teles.com for up-to-date information.

Upgrading from Windows 95 with Eicon ISDN Adapters

--------------------------------------------------

USB DEVICES
===========

CMD OHCI USB Controller REV_04

------------------------------

If you upgrade your machine and have a PCI

add-in USB host controller from CMD, you may
see the following string in the Device Manager:

"Rev 04 CMD USB controller not supported by Microsoft"

This device is not supported by Microsoft. You

can contact CMD about getting a filter driver
that should enable your machine to work.

NEC USB OHCI Host Controllers[jrh1]

----------------------------------------------

Some older systems ship with a USB OHCI host

controller from NEC that has known problems
with bulk devices. You may experience problems
with this host controller when using bulk USB
devices such as scanners, printers, and modems.

Belkin USB Hubs

---------------

There are two issues with this device:

- The power adapter does not supply enough power

for hub to be able to support four full
bus-powered devices.
- The hub always reports itself as a self-powered
device, even when being used as a bus-powered device.

If you always use the power adapter, you will avoid

having the hub always report to itself as a self-powered
device. You should note that if you have four devices
plugged in to the hub, you may run into intermittent
problems.

CATC USB Bus-Powered Hubs

-------------------------

This hub sometimes fails to work with low-speed

devices such as keyboards, mice, and joysticks. The
solution is to use only self-powered devices with
this hub.

Hitachi Visionbook Plus 4000 Series Laptop

------------------------------------------

USB is disabled on these machines due to problems

on the laptop with power. The laptop does not
properly support high-powered bus-powered devices.

Original Intel USB Camera

-------------------------

This original USB Camera (the square-shaped

camera, not the oval-shaped camera that is
currently available) has problems working on
OHCI host controllers.

This device should be used on UHCI host

controllers.

NEC Flat Screen Monitor with USB Hub

------------------------------------
This device has problems with low-speed devices
such as keyboards, mouse devices, and joysticks
when plugging and unplugging. You may have to
plug in and re-plug in the device several times to
get it to work correctly.

Thrustmaster Top Gun USB Joystick

---------------------------------

This device has problems working on OHCI host

controllers. This device should be used on UHCI
host controllers.

Thrustmaster GrandPrix Steering Wheel

-------------------------------------

This device has problems working on OHCI host

controllers. This device should be used on UHCI
host controllers.

NEC NX Series Machines

----------------------

These machines come equipped with a legacy mode

USB BIOS that allows the USB keyboard to work
in real mode. When you suspend and resume your
computer, wake up the machine by using the NEC
USB keyboard/mouse, or the device will not
work after the computer is resumed. You need to
unplug and re-plug in the device.

Unixtar USB Hubs

----------------

The hub always reports itself as a self-powered

device, even when being used as a bus-powered
device. In order for the hub to work correctly,
you must always use the power adapter.

Samsung USB Keyboard with Hub

-----------------------------

The hub on the Samsung USB keyboard does not

always identify itself correctly. When it
identifies itself as a self-powered device,
it confuses the operating system, causing odd
behavior with the hub portion of the keyboard.
There is no workaround. Use low-powered
USB devices such as mouse and gaming devices
or self-powered devices with this keyboard.
