missing usbntmap.sys file for Windows Me

[Daniel]

I've just installed the software for a Fuji digital camera
but when I attach the camera it requests the Me Install
Disk. Device manager says I need to update the drive.
When I do that I'm told I already have the best driver but
it can't be loaded because I'm missing usbntmap.sys which
is on the Me Install disk. The problem is all I have is a
Dell Restore disk and the Dell Reinstallation disk,
neither of which has that file on it. Microsoft's
knowledge base is not being helpful. Any suggestions?
Where can I find a copy of the file to download? Thanks.

This seems to be a common problem with some OEM installs of Win Me.

The files are in the "cab" files in the Win9x folder on the Win Me CD and/or
in a sub-folder of Windows\Options and not directly visible in Explorer. See
MS KB 265371 - "How to Extract and Replace a Protected File in Windows Me"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=265371) for details of how to extract files
from the cab set. Alternatively use MSConfig | General | Extract File... and
follow the prompts to extract a new copy of the required files to your
windows\system32\drivers folder . Most USB related files can be found in
BASE2.CAB although some are located in other cabs.

However probably the easiest way to proceed is for you visit to
http://www.usb-drivers.com/drivers/63/63237.htm and download usb-WinMe.exe
which contains WinMe's usb related files. Extract the files you want and put
them in windows\system32\drivers.
