PROBLEMS WITH MIKOMI 2GB FLASH DRIVE?

USING WINDOWS 98SE ALL USB ITEMS WORK WELL. BOUGHT A MIKOMI 128MB FLASH DRIVE AND LOADED THE DRIVER FROM USBFLASHDRIVERS.COM. WORKED WELL.
BOUGHT A 2GB MIKOMI FLASH DRIVE FROM ARGOS IT REQUIRED THE SAME DRIVER BUT HAVING LOADED IT AND THEN FITTED THE 2GB DRIVE THE COMPUTER WOULD NOT RECOGNISE THE NEW USB HARDWARE SO IT WILL NOT WORK.
DRIVER IS v2.37r004 .
HOWEVER IT WILL WORK ON A MAC .

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED OR IT WILL GO TO THE MAC OWNER.

Response to Mick Bruin.From Johnny.
You certainly got help form Argos and their Supplier, sorry that did not cure the problem.
I have another computer using Win 98SE and to my surprise I loaded the v2. 37r004 driver and found that it recognised the 2GB Mikomi Flash Drive as well as the 128MB Mikomi Flash. This computer only has a USB Driver for an HP 840 Printer, whereas my main computer has several USB Drivers for Printer HP F380, Joystisk, Vivitar Digital Camera and a USB 4 Port Hub.
I use the 128 MB Flash to transfer JPEG Picture files to my 2nd computer and load them into the 2GB Flash drive, which plugs into either a Philips DVD Recorder or a Philps 32inch LCD TV. Both of these allow me to obtain Slide shows on the TV set
Hope you have resolved your problem in the last 2 months

I have a very similar problem on my Windows 98SE system.The hardware Wizard recognises the flash drive but not the software that I've downloaded. I've tried both the (v2.15r004SG)Capacity on REVERSE and (v2.37r004PN)No Capacity on REVERSE drivers, neither of which worked - my drive is a 'no capacity on reverse. Neither did the driver v2.37r004 - new 98se, mailed to me from justrams.com after I contacted them about the problem.
I noticed that, after I'd unzipped the driver downloads, two of the files - data1.cab and data2.cab - were still preceded by the WinZip icon. Is this normal or part of the problem?
I've tried to extract the two files separately but get the message 'WinZip cannot open C:DOWNLOADusbdiskv2.37r004 - new 98sedata1.cab because it is not in the standard Microsoft CAB format (as defined in mid-1998). The "signature bytes" required by the Microsoft CAB specification are missing.
I've contacted Argos, where I bought the drive, who gave me their supplier's name (Orion Media Marketing) who said they didn't supply the device though helpfully spent a long time searching for the manufacturer at www.mingjong.com.tw . Unfortunately I couldn't find any reference to flash drives on their web site but will mail them with my query.

Have just been searching for a solution to same problem - have been told to try downloading softward for USB Flash Drive 2.0 (Blue/Black, CAPACITY ON REVERSE) from www.usbflashdrivers.com - am going to give it a try when i get home - hope it works x
