Default Disable or Bypass New Hardware Detection

Hi,

I have converted my computers and my Wife's desktop computer to
dual boot computers (Win98se or WinXP).

Recently I installed a MediaLink WiFi adapter in my Wife's dual boot
desktop computer. Note: MediaLink's driver is for WinXP, etc. but
incompatible with Win98. Note: She doesn't need a driver for Win98.

Does anyone know a method to disable or bypass detecting the
MediaLink adapter when booting Win98?

For now, I told my Wife to click on "Cancel" (Hardware Wizard) if she
boots up Win98.

Thank You in advance, John

Hi,

There is no "OK" presented by the Hardware Wizard, unless
perhaps after a .INF is located?

There is a "Next" and a "browser" to the location that
has the .INF. There is no .INF file with this driver and this
driver is not compatible with Win98.

Hi "Hot-Text",

Your second reply was better than your first.

After clicking on "Next", for the driver location, I selected
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS knowing there will be no
driver for the MediaLink WiFi adapter. There is no driver
available, I was informed, so I clicked on "Finish".

That solved the problem.

Thanks again, John

That's for the MWN-USB54G wireless-G version.

The MWN-USB150N (wireless N version) driver is he

http://www.medialinkproducts.com/docs/Setup.exe

There is a win-98 and ME directory on the install disk for the
wireless-G version.

The is just a single "setup.exe" and data1.cab file for the wireless-N
verison - but it does install with no problems or errors on my win-98
system.
