Trouble re-installing Wireless G notebook adapter
I am trying to re-install the Linksys Wireless G notebook adapter WPC54GS on
a laptop running Win98. I uninstalled the adapter because I couldn't get the configuration correct - it would not talk to the router connected to the desktop machine running WinXP. When I attempt to re-install, I get an error msg saying it is already installed. I have looked for the files and deleted everything I know of belonging to the WPC54GS. I have not gone into the registry because I believe the msgs saying "stay out if you don't know what you're doing". I have to get over this hurdle before I can try again to get the configuration correct. Can someone point me in the right direction? |

Un-install the network adapter software in Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs. Then, un-install the network adapter in Control Panel | Network if it's still there. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
