Uninstalling the Card | 19 |
Uninstalling the Card If the card installation is unsuccessful for any reason, your best course may be to remove the card and its software and repeat the installation procedures with a fresh installation of the operating system. A fresh install will also solve problems that can arise from removing the card or shutting down your computer while diagnostics were running.
Sometimes earlier installations or interrupted installation attempts leave problems that affect card operation. Possible problems include:
■One or both of the card functions not working.
■Windows 98 not detecting the card.
■The system issuing a warning tone at startup.
If you are having any of these problems, remove the LAN+Modem card and software using the procedures below, then reinstall the card.
