Install ViewSonic keyboard driver

[Dillinger4]

I just bought a new keyboard and since i am running crappy win 98 i need to install the drivers for the hot keys. The docs that came with the keyboard say to dl this http://www.viewsonic.com/support/dri...product&key=47
I extracted the compressed archive and then in the created dir i ran the setup.exe. Problem is when i plug the keyboard in it dosen't work. When i plugged it in before i kept getting a prompt to install win98 cd to install a usb driver or some crap like that. Now when i plug the kb in i get no prompt and no light for the num lock key. Im pretty much fed up with this computer and i think in a day or two im gonna drive over to the gwb and throw it off.

start in safe mode, and install the usb driver.

I changed the default app that opens compressed archives to WinZip from WinRAR to follow the installation steps that viewsonic posted. But now when i try and dl the driver mozilla dl's like 1/3 of it then completes. *** is the point of a usb keyboard anyway?

never even have seen one, but it shouldn't matter. did you get the USB service working for W98? You could remove the app, and start again (after a re-start).
Did you delete the old file before trying to download it again?

I changed the default app that opens compressed archives to WinRAR from WinZip which was the original way i had it. I finally got the whole archive to dl and i followed the installation steps that viewsonic has on their site but nothing happens after i reboot. At least yesterday the keyboard seemed to be getting power cause the numlock led was lit but now nothing. Im just gonna take it back. I can't see having a usb keyboard anyway. I only have two usb slots and i can't fill one with a stupid keyboard.

prolly the best solution.
