pci universal serial bus

i just put a computer together and in windows 98 se in the system\device manager there is an alert for "Other Devices"
the componetes are as follows:
p4 2.4 ghz 533 fsb
albatron mobo px845pev pro
radeon 9000 pro
256 mb pc 2700 ram
40 gb wd caviar hdd 7200 rpm
windows 98 se

he says he has downloaded all the updates for windows so that is done. however the motherboard does have two additional headers for front of the case usb ports, wich we did not use because the case does not have the front ports built in. i think that may be the problem. if it is would i just need to disable the ports in windows, or in the bios?

You should be able to turn them off in BIOS, or run the install program from the motherboard CD.

Which operating systems support USB 2.0?
Microsoft has released the official USB 2.0 driver for Windows XP and Windows 2000. The version is 5.1.2600. The software is available on-line at Windows Update website. (If you don't have a USB 2.0 card installed in your system, Windows Update won't list the USB 2.0 driver as an update.)

The software company is still considering USB 2.0 support for Windows ME, but it already has decided not to bring USB 2.0 to Windows 98 and Windows 98 SE. If you have Windows 98, you will have to rely on 3rd party USB 2.0 support from USB card manufacturer.

There are no USB 2.0 drivers for Win98, unless the manufacturer of your PCI USB card has some. (unlikely).
