Can't get needed file
I have an old HP Pavilion computer using WIN98. For the
first time I am trying to add a new printer to the USB Port. When I connected it, I got a message that says I have to install the "Human Interface Port." In going through the Wizard it comes to a point where it wants to install the following driver: c:\WINDOWS\INF\HIDDEV.INF To do this it says I need to insert my Windows 98 CD-ROM in order to get a file, HIDDEV.CAT. However, I never got a Windows 98 CD-ROM with this computer. It only gave me 2 recovery discs to reinstall all the software that came with the computer. Is there some other way I can get the files I need and complete this installation? Apparently, the USB port on the computer is not active without going through this procedure because the computer doesn't "see" the new printer. HELP!!! |
