Need Win98 SE disc
I am trying to install a USB 10/100 ethernet adapter. Win
98 detects the new hardware and I try to install the driver. It gets only so far and then requires that I insert the Win98 disc, which I do not have, as the OS was installed at the factory. I have had the same problem in the past with the installation of other hardware. I had to take my computer to a local computer repair shop so he can use his disc. The cost ranges from $50 to $150 and I can't seem to buy a disc anywhere. Is there anyway I can supply the necessary information for the driver installation without going to someone who has a disc and charging an arm and a leg. Thanks, Bill |

The CD files might be on the hard disk. Do a search for "win*.cab". If they're found, point to the folder that they're in. 2. If another network adapter is already installed (or maybe even if it isn't), the necessary files might already be installed. When it asks for the CD, tell it to look in C:\Windows\System and/or C:\Windows\System32. IMHO opinion, that's an outrageously high charge at the local computer store. -- 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.
