Superlink Software for USB networking cable from netlinker problem
I bought a netlinker usb 2.0 datalink/network cable for file transfers
from my laptop to my Win98SE desktop. They include a program called superlink to do the transfers. After I installed the software on win98SE it trys to load a driver that doesn't exist on the install disk or on the windows98se install disk when I plug it into my USB port(driver called vnic.sys). Support seems to be non-existant for this software. It says it is supported under 98SE but I can't get it to work cause of the driver problem. Has anybody had luck with this thing good or bad. System is a Emachine 300mz celeron from the late 90's. Thanks in advance... Steve |

Were you able to solve it? The install on a WinXP machine works fine, and transfers between two WinXP machines works fine. On my installation disc there was a zipped file which had an "install.exe" file which seemed to work with W98SE. When I plugged in the cable, Windows asked for a "vnic.sys" file, which I finally found via the internet (although I can't be sure it's the RIGHT file). When I pointed to the location of that file, the W98SE install proceeded. However, whenever I try to access the other computer (which has the files I want to move to the W98SE machine), I get an error message of "device not loaded." The transfers between XP machines is simple and fast, so I'm hoping you now know the secret of a W98SE install! |

The install on a WinXP machine works fine and transfers between two WinXP machines works fine. On my installation disc there was a zipped file which had a "install.exe" file which seemed to work with W98SE. When I plugged i the cable, Windows asked for a "vnic.sys" file, which I finally foun via the internet (although I can't be sure it's the RIGHT file). When pointed to the location of that file, the W98SE install proceeded. However, whenever I try to access the other computer (which has th files I want to move to the W98SE machine), I get an error message o "device not loaded."
