Plug and Play

With windows detecting your new device you have installed you will be prompted for location of the device driver.

In windows you can choose to search for driver or review a driver list windows has set up. The best way to go about this is to have your manufacturers CD/Floppy disk ready and in a drive. Choose "Search for a better driver".

The next dialog box will give you a list of a floppy,CD-ROM, and so on. Choose the installation media type you are using and click "next".

Now when if your unsure of the location of the software on the disk is usually in a INF. file type. Also look in any corresponding folders for example win95 or win 98 and even drivers. Refer to your software documentation if you cant find it. Windows will also tell you if there is information about your device in the next dialog box.

Now that you chosen the drive simply hit "ok" of "next".

If you found the right driver you will see a dialog box with the new information in it. Hit "next" or "ok"

Windows will build a database of needed drivers from the one you selected and you will need to reboot.
