Yep i know the feeling. You say that it will take a minute or two and it ends up taking all day because of drivers or its just not compatible.

Check in the bios if PNP OS is enabled and if ne thing got to do with USB is enabled.

If its possible, un install the host controller and then install the usb card first.

I hate how windows 98 always asks for the cd

Put the disk in and load the software drivers are normally hidden inside and that's why it couldn't find them on the disc.If it keeps freezing after this remove the card and try another slot (if you have one) this might get over it been here done that,so much for plug and play.

some older(relatively speaking) motherboards will not support USB 2.0(if thats what you're working with). a bios upgrade may be in order.
