# Windows Me, 98, and 95 Installation

## Plug and Play Installation

Most CardBus-enabled computers support plug and play installation of the PRO/100 S and SR Mobile Adapters under Windows Me, Windows 98, and Windows 95 OSR2. However, early versions of Windows 95 (950 or 950a) are not supported.

## LAN Drivers Available

The following drivers for Windows Me, Windows 98, and Windows 95 OSR2 are supplied with the PRO/100 S and SR Mobile Adapters:

- NDIS4 driver (E100BNT.SYS)

- NDIS5 driver (E100BNT5.SYS)

The best NDIS driver for your operating system will be installed by default using the following procedures:

- Windows Me
- Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)
- Windows 95 OSR2

## Windows Me

| NOTE: If your laptop computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, go to Making Floppy Disks.

You can install drivers for Intel adapters using either the Found New Hardware Wizard or the Intel® PRO Intelligent Installer.

- If you use the Intel PRO Intelligent Installer, installation is a one-step process. You can install drivers and Intel PROSet II at the same time.

- If you use the Found New Hardware Wizard to install drivers, you must first install the drivers and then use the Intel CD to install other adapter components such as Intel PROSet II.

#### Installation with the Intel® PRO Intelligent Installer

The Intel PRO Intelligent Installer enables you to install adapter drivers, configuration utilities, and other add-on components for Intel adapters. The Installer supports Windows* 98, 2000, XP, and NT* 4.0. For Windows 95, see the Win95 folder on the CD-ROM shipped with your Intel® PRO/100 adapter.

For directions on installing drivers using the Installer, see Run the Installer.

#### Installation with the Found New Hardware Wizard

To install drivers in Windows Me, use the following procedure:

1. Put the cover back on the computer and turn on the power.

2. Windows Me starts and detects the adapter. The "Add New Hardware" wizard starts. Click Next to continue.

3. Select the Removable Media CD-ROM option and put the Intel CD in your computer. If the Autorun screen appears, close it. Click Next to continue.

4. Windows Me searches for drivers and asks which driver to install. Choose The Updated Driver and then click Next.

### 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.

1. 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.
   To update the driver go to Device Manager, select the adapter, and click Properties. Select the Driver tab and click the Update Driver 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

2. If you have multiple Intel adapters in your Windows Me system, you must 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 causes the new adapter not to function. The failure makes it apear 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. While updating, be very careful to choose the Removable Media (floppy/CD-ROM) option and be sure Windows points to the drive of your inserted media. Do not attempt to use any drivers already in any system directory.

## Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)

## Windows 95 OSR2

| NOTE: If your laptop computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, go to Making Floppy Disks.

To install drivers in Windows 95, use the following procedure:

1. Power on the computer and allow Windows 95 to complete startup.

2. Insert the PRO/100 S or SR Mobile Adapter into the CardBus slot and connect cables as shown in Hardware Installation.

3. Windows detects a PCI Ethernet controller and displays the Update Device Driver Wizard. In this procedure, the LAN driver will be installed first and then the modem driver. Insert the Intel CD and click Next to start the procedure. (If the New Hardware Found window does NOT appear, you may need to enable CardBus support in your computer BIOS. See your computer's manual for information or check their website.)

4. Windows confirms the device name. Click Finish. This installs the LAN driver. If prompted for the NET82557.INF file, change the path back to your Intel CD. Windows may also ask you for the location of Windows networking files. Usually these are located in C:\windows\options\cabs or on your Windows 95 installation CD.

5. If prompted to restart, click Yes if you have the PRO/100 S or SR LAN only adapter and proceed to step 7.
   Click No if you have the PRO/100 S or SR Combo adapter and proceed to step 6.

6. Windows detects the modem portion of the adapter (PCI Serial Controller) and repeats the process above for the modem component. If prompted for other files, try changing the path to the Intel CD.

| NOTE: Windows may display a message indicating some VXD files are out of date. To determine if this affects operation of your computer, restart and check the modem. If it will not function, see the Mobile Release Notes file for detailed information.

7. Restart the computer for the configuration to take effect.

8. If you are not in the U.S. or Canada, run the Country Identifier utility to specify your location. The utility is located in the Intel Mobile program group.

For most networks, you will need to configure properties for your protocols, computer identification, and preferred servers. Contact your network administrator for details if you need assistance.

Have your Windows 95 installation CD or diskettes available; you are prompted for them when you install the new adapter.

1. After you put the adapter in the computer and connect the cable, start the computer. Windows detects the adapter as a PCI Ethernet device.

2. Depending on your version of Windows 95, you see either the Update Device Driver Wizard or New Hardware Found window.

3. In either case, insert the Intel CD in your drive and wait for it to spin up. You may see an Introductory autorun screen open up after inserting the CD. If this screen displays, close it.

4. Follow the instructions in the Windows prompts. When prompted for a path, type D:\ (for a CD-ROM drive) and then click OK.

5. Follow the prompts for any Windows 95 installation disks and restart the computer when prompted.
