[idiot_]

[computerhakk]

how are you connecting your mp3 player to it?

what kind of mp3 player? does it willingly support windows 98?

 

[idiot_]

my mp3 player is creative- and how do i know if it will support windows 98

 

[TheChef]

Is the mp3 player recognized by Windows and have you installed a driver from a CD?

 

[idiot_]

i got it from a friend so i did not get a cd and how do i know if windows recognizes it?

 

[TheChef]

It won't recognize it without a driver in Win98. Search for the model on the manufacturer's website and if you can find one download a driver for Windows 98 and install it. See if that works.

this should be the driver you need.

 

[idiot_]

so when i download this driver a file should show up and i will be able to put songs on my mp3?

 

[TheChef]

This driver will have to be installed. When you download it just click open and it will self install. Then restart the comptuer and plug in your mp3 player, or plug it in when prompted to do so during teh installation. Then it will show up in my computer after the driver has fully installed (it will probably complete installation after you restart the computer) and you will be able to click and drag songs onto it.

Method 2 that I thought of:

Plug in your mp3 player after saving the download to your desktop or an easily accessible folder. Go to start>settings>Control Panel>Add new Hardware. As it searches, it should be able to recognize a new device. When it asks if you want the computer to search for a driver or for you to manually pick the location of teh driver, say picka location and browse until you find the folder the driver is stored in. Allow it to install and follow the instructions.
