Guest mc Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 This is a repeat of last years post on the GA511NA pc card I put in my toshiba 225 cds laptop. I have tried several installs/uninstalls with no luck. The install wizard asks for the 98se disk sometimes and sometimes not. The device manager shows the yellow icon for this installation but I just can not get it to work. Any network guru's out there? mc

We do not understand what you did, and do not understand "no luck." The point is that instal CDs may have more than one SETUP.EXE -- so if using a legacy OS like Win98 we must first navigate to the Win98 folder and run the SETUP there and no other (or similarly for DEVICE.INF files, which can show multiple identical filenames on a CD even though their contents may be different (some Win98 or XP or Vista.) We still need to know what you did and what happened, e.g. did you reinstal via Plug & Play (removing the device and rebooting for boot-time detection) or from the /Device Manager / Properties /Update menu or directly from /Win98/DEVICE.INF on the CD? We do not know what happened, whether your procedure installed the same drivers or different drivers that work no better. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

We need to know *exactly* what you mean by "no luck" a verbatum quotation of the error message would be in order here.

It needs to read the .inf file Have a look there to be sure you do have an .inf file BTW: one very rare occasions I've seen mfg's have the .inf file be a hidden file. so if you do not see the inf file...enable "hidden" files to be shown in Windows explorer.

I think I just read as much as the "worked perfectly" part... anyway...if you are still struggling with the Toshiba... I'd really caution you against using a win2k driver... you should make all efforts to find the right win98 driver... I'm getting too tired to read through all the back posts now... but Gary has put you in the right direction by telling you to start over from scratch by deleting your network devices in safe mode. zzzzzzzzzzz

Although I am a firm believer in repairing an existing OS... sometimes it's better to just start over fresh. I still remember the time I was trying to clean up a badly infected win98 installation... after about 4 hours I realized there was nothing on the machine other than <shudder> AOL and a printer driver. A format and reinstall had the machine up and running in maybe an hour or so... I even added a virus checker... That was a few years back and she has not destroyed the machine yet ! > "philo" <philo@privacy.net> wrote in message > news:JpidnZmEf5WqKYLVnZ2dnUVZ_uSdnZ2d@ntd.net... > > > > "mc" <wcwall.awm@verizon.net> wrote in message > > news:ut583qerIHA.4544@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > >> I followed philo's instructions installing a new fa311v2 in another win > >> 98 > >> machine and used the win 2000 driver and it worked perfectly. still > > playing > >> with this toshiba though... > >> mc > >> > >> > > > > > > oops > > > > I totally missed that you still did *not* get it working in the Toshiba > > yet. > > > > I think I just read as much as the "worked perfectly" part... > > > > anyway...if you are still struggling with the Toshiba... > > > > I'd really caution you against using a win2k driver... > > > > > > you should make all efforts to find the right win98 driver... > > > > I'm getting too tired to read through all the back posts now... > > > > but Gary has put you in the right direction by telling you to start over > > from scratch > > by deleting your network devices in safe mode. > > > > > > zzzzzzzzzzz > > > > > >
