Note

If your computer had Windows 98/Me pre-installed and the original Windows 98/Me CD-ROM or diskettes were not included. In this situation, please try to locate the necessary files by following the methods described below or refer to your computer’s User’s Guide for more details.

Method-1:

Specify the Windows 98/Me backup file location in the hard disk of your computer.

Generally, the Windows 98/Me backup files are located in the “WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS” folder. Type “C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS” in the [Copy files from:] box on the “Copying Files...” dialog box, where “C:” is your Windows 98/Me boot drive and then click the [OK] button.

If the necessary files are found, the installation will proceed.

Otherwise, click the [Details...] button, a dialog box appears as shown below including the cabinet file name (*.CAB listed under the Description File) that contains the necessary file.

In this example, the cabinet file name is “DRIVER20.CAB”. (Note that the cabinet file name may vary depending on your computer.)

To search for the file in your computer

1 Click the [Start] button on the Task Bar and then click on [Find]–[Files or Folders...] (Windows 98) or [Search]– [For Files or Folders...] (Windows Me).

2 A dialog box appears prompting for a file name to be searched, type “DRIVER*.CAB” in the [Named:] (Windows 98) or [Search for files or folders named:] (Windows Me) box, choose “C:” in the [Look in:] box and check the box for [Include subfolders] (only for Windows 98).

3 Click the [Find Now] (Windows 98) or [Search Now] (Windows Me) button. When the cabinet file is found, make a note of the folder name where the file is located.

4 Return to the “Copying Files...” dialog box and type the folder name in the [Copy files from:] box. For example, type “C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS”. Then click the [OK] button.

Method-2:

Create the Windows 98/Me backup diskettes and then specify the diskettes.

Depending on the computer, there is usually a tool from the manufacturer to create the Windows 98/Me backup diskettes in a Windows 98/Me pre-installed system. Please refer to your PC’s User’s Guide for more details on this tool.

Create the Window 98/Me backup diskettes by using this tool, and then install the USB and Printer driver by following the procedures from Step 1.
