Needs help from the computer saavy
My parents have a computer that still runs on Windows 98. They now use USB flash drives/memory sticks/(insert other fancy name for teeny hardrive that uses USB port here).
Windows 98 doesn't have a driver for these things and originally I installed one for them using a little CD that came with the USB drive I gave my mum. Unfortunately my dad tossed out the disc. I have no idea why!
I'm pretty sure you can just download the driver from the web, maybe from Microsoft, but I can't seem to locate one. Can anyone send me a link?
I'm at my parents place until Monday sometime, so I was hoping to find one before then.

EDIT: I found one from Lexicon (the company that made one of the flash drives we own), but alas it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong? *pouts*

I'll give it a go once I get it to a floppy, which I have to do on yet another computer. Teehee! *feels like she's in the dark ages* :p
*fingers crossed*
