CAN'T INSTALL BELKIN NIC DRIVERS
I'm having trouble installing the drivers for a Belkin 54g wireless network
card in 98se. I've been onto Belkin who have given me several versions of their drivers but it comes down to the same thing... "Error 1F6 Windows can't install the driver for your device" (or similar words). Belkin say at this point that it's a bug with Win 98 and not really their problem. Any ideas? Thanks. |

CAN'T INSTALL BELKIN NIC DRIVERS
What versions did you try, and how was the installation performed [via
installer or INF]? Did you clean-up after the failed installs, if not you may have an INF error per the different software versions. Tried to find info on Belkin but couldn't get to the site. I did find many pages which claimed no issues with 98SE. Is that the OS version you are using and is it fully updated?. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com -- _________ "Sandy" wrote in message ... | I'm having trouble installing the drivers for a Belkin 54g wireless network | card in 98se.

Sorry, minds a little distant today... these might help if answered.
What computer are we discussing, make and model.

What is the exact model of your card? All Belkin wireless model numbers
start with F5D, followed by four more digits. Do you/did you have any other network adapter cards installed? Do you currently have a telephone modem installed? Are you going to keep it? -- Gary S.

Hi MEB,
Thanks for your response. I'll try to answer all your questions. The Belkin drivers I tried were versions 1, 2.4, 3.2, 6 & 7. I tried installing them by their installers and directly from their INF files (the latter wouldn't work at all!). I cleaned up as best I could after each time by using the uninstaller, device manager to remove the device deleting the inf folders under Windows/inf/other and physically removing the card. I must admit to forgetting to try MS cleanup utility. It is Windows 98se and is as updated as it got prior to support being removed. I'll add more on your second post...

To continue...
It's a PCChips M571 socket 7 mobo (yes I know it's ancient but it's served me well for many years!), other PCI cards apart form the Belkin which currently is in slot 1, is a NVidia GeForce MX400 in slot 2 and a Rockwell 56k modem (for FAX) in slot 3. There is just one ISA slot for a Soundblaster card. Hope this helps. Many thanks for your time. "MEB" wrote: Sorry, minds a little distant today... these might help if answered.
