zip files are compressed removing data that a operating system allready knows, like shorthand for computers, make the file smaller, and easier to send with multiple attatchments. download winzip from the link above, it is not free, but comes with a evaluation usage. this program , once downloaded and installed can extract files people have zipped with most any known zip program.
now if you installed the program, and you dont have the driver file, redownload it from the link above, save to your desktop, now you should be able to double click it like any other icon and it will open the winzip program with the file data listed in the window. before you double click it, right click one time on a open area of your desktop. select new, then another menu will appear, select new folder. now you have a new folder on your desktop. double click the driver file, select the extract button (top of the window on the toolbar) now a list has appeared asking to what location, you should see new folder listed, double left click on that link, and click extract, now you files should be in the folder you created. if the driver is a installer, just double click the setup icon, if just a bunch of files that look like notepads and white pages with a little band and dots in it, right click the my computer icon, then select properties from the menu, now click the device manager tab, right click on the sound card select properties, then click the driver tab, click update driver. put a check in install from a specific location. click next, now on this screen, put a check in include this location in the search. click the brows button next to it, click on desktop, then you should see new folder listed, double left click on it and click next/ok on through till it is installed, the computer may ask for the windows 98 cd so have it handy.
