I just bought a Logitech USB headset and my computer needs a file called “usbaudio.sys”. It’s asking for my Win98 disk, which I can’t find (it’s possible it’s in Rocklin, CA – my sister sent me this computer and may still have the disk).
Is there someplace on line where I can locate the driver and download it or do I have to get my sister to mail the disk to me?

Driverguide.com has what you want.
I just installed it and now to see if it works…

Well, after some difficulty installing it (my computer wants to see that Win98 disk reeeal bad!) I finally got it to install, but it still isn’t working.
Any advice?
I’m running an Intel Celeron processor (533 mhz) and Win98. I have 256 Mbytes memory and ~90Gbytes of HD space (one ~10 and one ~80). Experts may have to prompt me for pertinant facts of these aren’t the critical info needed to give useful advice.

Not being familiar with the specific device in question, I can only offer this for now: be sure the file is where the program expects it to be. Usually this is in the system-defined Path, but sometimes it has to be in a specific location, such as the program folder or one of its subfolders. A file with a .sys extension is often, but not always, a driver file which the OS loads, in which case, it usually goes in the C:\windows\system folder. The instructions for installing the file probably told you where to put it, but I thought I’d include this just in case it didn’t.
Have you tried Logitech’s website? I don’t know the specific model, or I’d search for you. Very often the manufacturer will have updated drivers available for free download.
Search your hard drive for *.cab. There should be one directory that has a whole lot of them, including one called driver20.cab. Uninstall the driver through Device Manager, then reinstall it. When it asks for your Windows disk, point it to the folder containing driver20.cab.
If you don’t find the .cab files then you need to get the CD from your sister.
