Installing the driver when Windows 95 OSR2 is already installed

1.When you boot Windows 95, it will detect the new hardware and display the Update Device Driver Wizard dialog which displays the following message:

This wizard will complete the

installation of: PCI Token Ring Controller.

Insert the adapter CD-ROM or the NDIS Drivers diskette containing the device drivers into the appropriate drive.

2.When prompted, enter the path to the driver directory and select OK.

Note: Some of the files on the diskette are located in the DOS subdirectory. If necessary, you will have to supply this subdirectory to get additional files copied onto your computer.

3.At this point, Windows 95 might prompt you for network names. Type your computer’s name and workgroup. Consult your system administrator if you do not know this information. Select OK to continue.

4.The driver files will be copied at this point. Windows might prompt you for the Windows 95 CD-ROM in order to install its default network protocols and services. Make sure that the location of your Windows 95 installation files (for example, d:\ or d:\win95 or c:\windows\catroot) appears in the entry and select OK. You might also be prompted again for the location of the driver files. Enter the appropriate location again as described previously.

After the files have been copied, a dialog box displays the following message:

To finish setting up your new hardware, you must

restart the computer. Do you want to restart your computer now?

5.Remove the driver diskette or CD-ROM from the computer and select Yes.
