Default wireless networking

Hey Everyone,
I recently bought a wireless USB adapter for my desktop,
however I am unable to install it because it requires
drivers from my windows 98 second edition CD which I do
not have anymore. Any suggestions on how to obtain
another one?

search your hardrive for files ending in *.cab , these are the install files
for win98

If the *.cab files are there, Haggis's suggestion will solve the
problem. They're often in a folder called C:\Windows\Options\Cabs.

If they aren't, it's possible that the required files are already
installed. When the system asks for a file, tell it to look in
C:\Windows and/or C:\Windows\System.
