Some tips on installing drivers
3. An important step before installing: Visit the control panel to see if that device is already listed with a yellow exclamation mark or a red cross. If it is, then you have to delete that listing before attempting any new installation. This is especially true of soundcards and modems which also tended to show up under the wrong category (usually "other devices"). 4. The installation asks for a file that you don't have? Sometimes, halfway through the installation process, you may see a screen saying that a certain file is required and/or that it can't be found. Very often the file required is in the Windows CD, compressed in one of the CAB files (in the Win95 or Win98 directory of the CD). On other occasions it may be elsewhere on the driver CD itself, or on your hard drive. Don't panic if you don't know exactly where it is. Don't hit the cancel button just yet 5. It's amazing what the "find" command can do. Right click on your start button and choose "find" from the menu. Type in the name of the file you are looking for, choose your drive, and click on "find now". Make sure that the "include subfolders" box is ticked. Haven't found it on the C: drive? Repeat the process with the driver CD and the Windows 95/98 CD as well.
