The interesting thing is that when I click on the C: drive plus sign and the expansion takes place.....amongst the directors that are there is a Windows.000 and Windows (SQUIGGLE) 000 directory. The former contains all the regular folders (cookies favourites config etc) whilst the latter contains nothing but a temp folder with my firewall logging info in it.....anyway, I just do not seem to be able to identify the appropriate driver for this PCI card by conventional means. I have run explore and I can see all the content of the CD rom including the multiple driver directories but I dont know which one would contain the appropriate driver. Was thinking that if I could do that, I could capture that driver and then load it at the request of the wizard. Any thoughts cos it means that every time I run up the box, it requests this pci card driver ????? Will

ok. the first thing i would do is launch windows explorer, then open the cd rom drive (w/ win98se cd in it) then copy the driver files from the cd to your hard disk (make a 'new folder' on your desktop and copy files into there). let me know what happens.
