hi everyone, this is the first time I post anything.
I have a laptop that can't run anything better than windows98, and I need to connect my k750 via usb.
It loads the drivers and e.t.c. but doesn't show up any new
drives.
In the user's guide though it clearly says u need to have windows 2000 , me or xp.
I would appreciate some help if anyone found out something usefull.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, you've answered your own question:

"In the user's guide though it clearly says u need to have windows 2000 , me or xp."

However, if your PC can run '98 it should also be able to run ME, as the system requirements are no different as far as I know.

yes there aren't any drivers as far as I know.
the only solution seems to be windows me, the worst, ever.
or a card reader.

As I said before, i am pretty sure someone here found some drivers for win98 a little while back.

Buy a USB bluetooth dongle which comes with drivers for Win98. You can then use bluetooth to communicate with your phone.
Or if your laptop already has bluetooth, even better..
