Manual Install Of Devices

There are times when you need to manually install a device rather than use a wizard. This still uses a little of the wizard to accomplish this task.

From the start button on windows click settings, control panel, systems, click device tab.

Choose your device under the device tab and double click it.

Choose Driver Tab

Choose Update Driver

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". 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.

When you have 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
