### Installation Notes for Windows Me

If you will be installing Windows Me or if you will be upgrading the adapter drivers in a multi-adapter Windows Me system, please read the following.

- During installation of Windows Me, (NOT during a driver installation on an existing Me computer) Windows Me may attempt to install its own older drivers on your new adapter and will appear successful. However upon reboot, you will find the adapter does not work. (It will install older adapters, but will not install your new adapter correctly.) If you check in Device Manager you will see that the adapter appears under Other Devices instead of under Network Devices. To make the adapter work, you must update the adapter driver with those included on the Intel CD.

  You can update drivers using either the Update Device Driver wizard or the Intel CD.

  - To update drivers using the Intel CD, insert the CD, click Install Base Driver, then click Install Driver at the top of the next window.

  - To update the driver in Device Manager, select the adapter in Device Manager, and click Properties. Select the Driver tab and click the Install Base Driver Only button. Using the Update driver wizard, be very careful to choose the 'Search for a better driver... Removable Media (floppy, CD-ROM)' option and be sure Windows points to the drive of your inserted media. For a more detailed update procedure, visit http://support.intel.com

- If you have multiple Intel adapters in your Windows Me system, you must be sure to update all of the Intel adapters to the software included with your new card. (See item 1 for driver update procedures. Repeat for each adapter). Failing to update any other Intel adapter in the system will cause the new adapter not to function. The failure will look as though the new adapter did not receive the proper update when you loaded the new driver, but this is NOT the case.

  The problem is that Windows Me cannot find the new driver while an older driver still exists on another adapter, so all other Intel adapters must be updated to the new driver. Do not attempt to use any drivers already in any system directory.

### Manually Adding an Adapter

1. From the Control Panel, double-click the Add New Hardware icon. If the Add New Hardware icon is not visible, click View all Control Panel options to display all icons available in the Control Panel.
   The Add New Hardware Wizard appears.

2. Click Next, then click Next again.
   The message Do you want Windows to search for your New hardware? appears.

3. Click Yes. Click Next, then click Next again.
   After the operating system detects the adapter, the message Windows has finished detecting the hardware... appears.

4. Click Next, then click Next again.

5. When selecting the type of hardware to install on the computer, click Network Adapters. Click Next.

6. Click Have Disk.

7. Type the drive letter for the Intel CD followed by a backslash. For example, D:\.

8. From the list of adapter manufacturers, click Intel. From the list of adapters, click Intel(R) PRO/1000 T.

9. Click Next, then click Finish.
