Automatically Bypass "New Hardware Found.."

Hi,
I recently bought a Zonet ZUH2215V USB 2.0 PCI host controller for
my Win98se/WinXP dual boot desktop.

I didn't need a driver for this using WinXP. However, if I launch
Win98, of course it is detected and a "New Hardware Found.." prompt
appears. This device is not Win98 compatible (no driver), which is fine with
me since I have other USB ports (1.1) I can use, although slower.

I know I can click the "cancel" button to skip, but it will always
show up each time I bootup the Win98 partition.

Is there a way to turn off New Hardware detection or get
Win98 to ignore a particular hardware?

Thank You, in advance, John

My first comment is: Why on earth would you suffer and put up with the
obviously slow performance of running Win-XP on a system that is so
ancient that it doesn't have USB 2.0 ports? Such a machine (that has
USB 1.0 ports) must be 10 to 12 years old.

My second comment: why don't you either check the 3" CD disk that came
with the card for win-98 drivers, or download the drivers from here:

If you have problems installing the driver, consult this thread:

Your card is listed as being win-98 compatible.
