I have installed nusb24e.exe but then I got greated problem.
I am using Windows 98 SE Traditional Chinese edition,
and I think the problem is the incompatablity of language...

Now whenever I boot into windows or launch IE,
I get an error something like "invalid dynamic all to .DLL".

I have tried installed the Q242975 update of my language,
but it doesn't help.

The worst thing is that I didn't make a backup (over-confident).
So, actually what files are changed? How can I get my system working again?

Thanks!!!!!

There is no uninstall as such, try running a System Restore to before you installed it. Not sure if this will work though.

SoftStag does the unofficial Windows 98 Service Pack need to
be installed for the USB driver you recommend to work properly?
I have windows XP.I was searching for support for Win98se when
I discovered this site but,I have not personally used nusb24e.exe.
So.................. See below site.

Well, I have solved the problem by myself...

I've found that, the nusb24e.exe install the followings:
The English version update of KB242975
"Update for 1394 Storage Peripherals in Windows 98 Second Edition"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/242975

The update replace the user.exe and user32.dll to be a newer version.
This is the problem: these two files are of English version.

I got the KB242975 update for Traditional Chinese and install,
but it didn't help, because the "version number" of the two files (4.10.2226) were in fact "LOWER" than the English ones (4.10.2231).

I CANNOT find out the 4.10.2231 version for Traditional Chinese W98SE.
I know that Q291362 contains that version, but M$ has closed almost all downloads of update files right now! (WTF...)

Fortunately, there was backup (user.w98, user32.w98) that are of 4.10.2229 (I haven't found out from which update they came), thus I recovered them, and it was done! The USB mass storage driver in fact can work properly.

If I have time I will investigate more how to pack nusb24 for Traditional Chinese Win98SE...

Hi isaac729,
I'm Rizwan,

My old laptop with Windows 98 SE Japanese Version OS facing same problem with you after installed the English Version generic mass storage device driver.

May I know how and where can I get the backup (user.w98, user32.w98) files for Japanese Version?

If possible and if you have time, can you explain to me step by step after I got the files on how to countermeasure the problem please(can I just
overwrite/replace the files directly to system directory etc.)?

Thank you in advance!

[Steve]

Hi Rizwan

I think you just need to search your harddrive for those two files (Start -> Search).

Hi steve,

Thanks.

I try to find it later, when I'm back to home.

To isaac729 and SoftStag or anyone else for that matter,

I currently have a similar problem to rizuwann. I'm running a Japanese Win98 SE and tried to install nusb31e. Although a message did pop up saying the explorer.exe contained a different language code, I went ahead and installed anyways (without making a backup of course).

Now I'm getting the dreaded "invalid dynamic linked .dll" upon bootup which doesn't allow me to use any programs or access anything from the start up menu. Rebooting to safe mode allows me access to system info but not much else (explorer, disk check, etc).

I have tried to restore the system files via scanreg through the prompt but have also been unsuccessful.

I stumbled upon isaac729's ingenious solution, but as yet have been unable to find either a Japanese version of KB242975 or locate the backups (user.w98 user32.w98) on my system.

Can I get any details of where to find those files, as well, as their installation method?

Cheers

[Steve]

@mangg

You should read this post:

It will help you replace the incorrect files with new ones.

Hi, Isaac729 Softstag and Mangg or others that matter,

I have the simular problem as Mangg. I over-confidently installed nusb31e on the Triditional Chinese Windows 98 SE. When it boots up, the system complians about invalid dll call and the whole system is almost unusable, as Mangg has experienced. I couldn't find the user.w98 and user32.w98 backups on the harddrive. What's worse, I don't have the orignal Windows 98 installation CDs at hand. Could you suggest me a way to fix?

Thanks and regards!
