trouble installing PCMCIA Adapter

That should, I'd hope, work assuming your drivers are
compatable with ME. Does the device specifically state that it's =

I'm having serious doubts about the compatibility of the driver with ME.
I was told a Win 98 compatible driver should also work with ME.
I'll try driverguide.com.
Thanks for your help, Galen.
I'll probably be back trying to figure out how to install a new OS.

Lydia,

A 98 driver generally will work with ME, in my experience I'd say at least
95% of the ones that I've used have worked. I'm actually using a 98 driver
in XP for my now long since un-supported web cam. I do hope that you're able
to find one that works. If you install another operating system I highly
recommend XP. One of it's greatest features is so many devices are
recognized automatically. I was amazed when I first installed it and saw
that the Zip drive was recognized before the OS was even fully installed.
I'd recommend your laptop be at least 700 MHz and that you have at least 256
MB of RAM though or it will run rather slowly. It will run probably but it
will not run very rapidly. I've installed it on CPUs as slow as 350 MHz and
128 MB of RAM.

Looking at the datasheet at Level1 for the Adapter I've got it really =

there's a driver for EVERY other OS, but not ME.
Only got 128MB of RAM. How will Windows 2000 do on that, do you think?

Oh, 2k will enjoy 128 MB of RAM. It would love more than that too but 128
will do. You'll want to "tweak" 2k a bit and make sure that you have
installed SP4 with it but it's a great OS. I like it almost as much as I
like ME. I'm not entirely certain you need to change your OS however... If
you do then (if it's possible for you to do so) an increase in RAM and using
XP would be what I'd honestly recommend. If you can't then 2k is the other
obvious choice and you seem to have made it already. There's a site, Black
Viper's, that you'll want to read if you install 2k.

Here's a direct link though the whole site is interesting and a good read:
