i have windows 98 and have installed the ngage software on my pc, only thing is, it wont find the drivers. i have a formatted mmc card in the ngage its fully charged and everything seems ok, so could someone plz send me the driver files because i really wanna stick some stuff onto my ngage from the pc. cheers in advance.

ps... my email is [email][email protected][/email] , leave a message if your sending the files so i know when to check. thanks again.

Sorry man, but I think there are no drivers for win98. You must have USB activated and then it work. If usb devices work so will the n-gage!

its me i just signed up. i have a mp3 player that works so it should.

when you say usb should be activated do you mean in the nokia connection manager or whatever its called? cos i tried turning that on and then doing it but it still didnt work, it's getting well annoying now. any other suggestions?

No.
Simply when you plug the N-gage to the USB port Win98 have to add it to the explorer as a usb-drive(or ask for the usb drive drivers to be installed). Then you can upload/download everything into the N-Gage.

all well and good but it doesnt find the drivers

Read the notes associated with your Nokia PC Suite.There is a known error trying to connect your N-Gage to your pc when using Win98.From what I understand, the programme/phone only will recognise COM port1 when using a USB cable.If you're already using COM port1, check you have not got anything else assigned to that port as you'll still end up with the problem.If you have say a modem, assigned to that port they reckon you've got to assign your modem to another port.Also check that you have an original Nokia USB cable - apparently generic cables will also throw up these problems.If all else fails, try a bluetooth adapter for your pc. Apparently you can get a bluetooth adaptor from Argos and it won't cost above �30.Don't go to any phone shops for the adaptor - I got quoted �99.99 from phones4u yestaday(bleedin' rip-off merchants!).Dixons/Currys are �79.99. Correct me if anything here is not quite right.I'm having the same probs as the above person and this is what I've found out so far.
