Tragic187 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I was wondering if anybody knows a website where I can download USB driver software for NT 4. I know that Windows NT 4 does not support but there are 3rd party software/hardware companys that do provide it. But the problem is that when I find the website that do provide the software I gotta pay for it or the driver software only works for the hardware they sell( such as cd burner or zip drive). I am just looking for one that is FREE. My other question is that if I download the driver software that works for a USB zip drive can I use it for a different hardware that is also USB? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -==Tragic187==- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tragic187 Posted January 24, 2003 Author Share Posted January 24, 2003 (edited) Stain it is possible, I went to these web sites and they do provide USB driver software for Windows NT 4. Its not for me though its for a friend of mine. The company he works still has some machines that use NT4. I sked him why doesn't he just upgrade the OS to 200 and he told me that its up to the admin to do that not him. Oh well. Here is one website I went to USB driver for NT 4 and for the second answer u replied to, I figured it wouldn't work but it never hurts to ask. thanx for the reply stain -==Tragic187==- Edited January 24, 2003 by Tragic187 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have since upgraded my server hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does it have greater compatibility with newer hardware and applications, its been proven to be much more stable than NT4 ever was.

Tragic187 Posted January 24, 2003 Author Share Posted January 24, 2003 Thanx for the reply wired57 but it didn't help me out at all and my friend also tried the application but it didn't solve his problem. I guess my friend will have to live without using USB on his NT 4 machine. He's gonna have to ask his admin to upgrade to Windows 2000 Pro. I appreciate all your help stain and wired. thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragic187 Posted January 24, 2003 Author Share Posted January 24, 2003 thanx Stain. Trying telling that to my friend. or Even better his admin. I also run Windows 2000 Pro and Windows XP Pro. Both are way more stable with better compatibility than WIndows NT 4. -==Tragic187==- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
