I have a older Windows 98se computer that might be useful for device support, if I can get it connected.

Desktop Manager v4.2-v.45 will not install, they are looking for a minimum Windows 2000/ME system.

Desktop Manager v4.1 has installed, but I have not been able to establish a USB connection.

BlackBerrys USB and Modem drivers refused to install, same minimum system requirements.

Auto-detect does see the BlackBerry, but there is no native USB driver.

Does anybody have access to the older USB support files?

So far, I am out of luck...

Thank you, after reading the disclaimer:

Note: BlackBerry Desktop Software v4.1 works with RIM� 850, RIM� 857, RIM� 950, RIM� 957, BlackBerry� 5790, BlackBerry� 5800 Series, BlackBerry� 6200 Series, BlackBerry� 6510, BlackBerry� 6700 Series, BlackBerry� 7100 Series, BlackBerry� 7200 Series, BlackBerry� 7500 Series, BlackBerry� 7700 Series and BlackBerry� 8700 Series devices. Check with your service provider for the software version you should use with your BlackBerry device.

I realized this is hopeless, the lastest supported device is the 8700.

None of the consumer products are supported.

RIP Win98, I guess it's time for the XP upgrade after all.
