Why should I buy a third window 98 SE CD?

Why, Well the first two are missing drivers that came on
it and after using it a while there missing. Ok, where is
the information going? Time after time when installing and
the process calls to put in windows 98 disk to install a
driver or an installation and after following procedures a
message comes up can't find driver or what ever it's
looking for.

1. Where is this information going after installing it a
few times?
I have gone through a second Disk and it's doing the same
thing.

2. Why?

3. Have you made these disks that after you use them
a few times the information just installs one last time
and just deletes off the CD?

4. Is it so you can charge hourly rates?

5. Do you do this cause you have cornered the market?

6. And can?

7. Then if not why is it that I can't ever get a
reply?

Must less be able to download this missing information. It
would be nice to receive a replacement CD along with what
to do to save this information. That is if you're not
doing it on purpose.

8. Are you?

9. Has this happened to you?

10. What did you do?

11. How do I get through to them?

Huh? Things don't disappear off of CDs. They just don't.

If your software can't find something that's there, it's probably
just looking in the wrong place.

The information does not disappear off the CD. These disks were made 6
years ago. Many, many new devices have appeared on the market since then,
and most of those devices will not have drivers on the Windows 98 CD. Even
many devices that existed at that time don't have their drivers on the CD.
If a driver is not found on the CD then you have two choices. One is to use
a generic driver, such as 'Super VGA' for a video card. It will probably
work, but won't have all the features you need. In some cases there won't be
a generic card for your device. The other option is to look on the CD that
was supplied with the device, or on the www, for your drivers.

I do not have any record of you asking this type of question before, so I'm
not sure where you are getting your information, but buying a second or
third Windows 98 CD was never going to solve your problem.

I won't pursue generalities. Specifically, what driver are you looking for?
