I have this card for a Wind 98 laptop, but I don't have a Windows 98 Install CD, which is what it tells me to insert to get some drivers for it.  Does anyone know how to install it w/o the CD?

look at places like driversguide.com, then download the corrosponding driver.  try to find one with a package that includes a windows driver as well.  if you can't find one, try to search for the files one by one that it asks for on the internet, then download them and install them singally.  if THAT doesn't work, try to get a cheap 98 cd, or just borrow one and use it really quick.

Your sound card probably still works.  Win 9x seems to occasionally kick-out device drivers, especially sound and video.  Did this computer come with recovery CD's?--I'm thinking no, because few computers made in 2001 came with '98.  If you have a separate CD for your sound card then simply re-install the drivers.  You can also see that it has a problem by Right clicking on my computer, then Device Manager -- if you see an exclamation mark next to it - click onto it.  It will say the device has a conflict or that the device drivers aren't installed, click on Re-install drivers and have it search drive C: or Option Cabs.  If you know the cards maker and model, get the latest drivers from their web site.  Best of Luck!

You need to install software and drivers for it, there should be a CD with your laptop, if not then go the Toshiba site and see if you can download from there or ask your shop or toshiba.

The Windows install disk doesn't install the drivers for the sm bus controller. For all of you that are searching for this you did NOT install your chipset drivers yet! To get any kind of decent performance out of windows you will want to be running fairly up to date drivers of everything in your computer starting with your chipset and video card

If you want to update your drivers you will need to download them from the video cards web site.  Extract the files to a folder and either run the setup program in the folder (best idea) or go back to the device manager and point it to the folder with the files in it (not the best idea).

That can be a difficult spot to be in, because Plug & Play has not determined what the device is, only that is requires drivers.  \n\nThis is what I believe the previous poster was alluding to, but was not very specific about what you need to do.  Most likely this is NOT a PCI slotted device at all.  Most likely, this is a component on the motherboard itself that utilizes the PCI bus.  Therefore, if you have the CD that has your drivers on it, you may be able to find the driver it's looking for.  \n\nThis may simply be the Northbridge drivers, or something similar. (An example would be if you have an Intel chipset and it wants those drivers. These are supplied by the manufacturer of the mobo.)  Be sure to install any drivers that came with your computer on CD, especially ones that run from setup files. Those tend to "blanket" install a bundle of necessary drivers and will often fix this kind of issue.\n\nNext, look for files of the .inf type and try each to see if windows recognizes the device.  If, when you point the unrecognized device to a particular .inf file it does not recognize it as being applicable, try another one.\n\nIt's tedious, but most likely, you will fix your issue after some trial and error.  \n\nIf that fails, you can try going to your manufacturer's website and downloading any drivers you do not already see installed.\n\nGood Luck!

You don't need a driver if you are using Windows XP.  That is sort of a generic driver, and is automatically installed by Windows.

There was a short-lived variant of 95 that supposedly had USB support, however it never worked.  That's when 98 popped onto the scene.\n\nTry updating the 95 system to Win98SE and then make your connection.

If any thing you need the mobo drivers! There are very few cdrom units that need a driver! They are all plug and play! I,m thinkin you need to reinstall the mobo drivers if the unit isnt seeing the cdrom or the cdrom itself is defunct!

I cant find that product on the approved products list.. maybe a case of having to get a different make of wireless card.\n\nPresuming you have an administrative account on the computer and you are not getting any visible warnings.. you could try going to the event viewer (computer management) and seeing if any errors have been logged.. these can some times tell you alot about whats going on.. sometimes it will give a link to a resource.. and sometimes useless but a good place to look.\n\nIs it the drivers or the support sofware thats not installing?\nIm not sure what you have tried..\n\nhave you actually looked at the hardware manager to see if any warnings are flagged for your device... these warning can tell you if a device has been installed with the wrong driver... perhaps your operating system has jumped ahead and installed a default driver... even though the installation software should still run.\n\nhave you tried removing it from the hardware list in device manager and refreshing.. this forces a check and can trigger and installation where you can point where the disk is.. or you can let windows go off to find a driver... have you tried the website for any updated drivers.\n\nYou haven't said if the card is actually functioning or not..just that the software that came with it isnt installing... is your windows based wireless utility automatically controlling the card..... you never know, but this utility maybe stopping the software that came with the card from installing.. as I am guessing installation would need access to a piece of hardware that is effectively being used by something else.I know its not supposed to but i had this type of problem with my belking adpater that is not supported by xp configuraton utility.. i installed the drivers and the utility took over the rest and once i stopped it i was able install the software that came with it and it worked.... if it is you can stop the windows utility (XP) by \n1. Open Network Connections in Control Panel.\n2. Right click Wireless Network Connection.\n3. Go to Properties and click Wireless Networks Tab.\n4. Uncheck the box [Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings].\n5. Open the wireless utility from the start menu. \n\nI cant think of anything more than I'm sure you have tried...\n\ngood luck!\n\nps: have you go another computer you could try it in.. perhaps it doesn't like another piece of hardware in you computer...\n\npps: if you do get it installed and you have another NIC device.. xp sometimes gets its route tables confused (it does with mine sometimes anyway) and sends data to the device that isnt connected.. so it may help to disable the nic to fault find connection problems...

they say it is best to disable it but I never have and it workd fine. The first time I disabled it, I couldnt see anything that I was doing as far as installing the driver forthe new video card. But now I know. If you have a pci, pci express or agp slot video card, just pop it in, install the driver and then go into your settings, right click on the desktop, then hit properties, then go to settings. There will be a drop down list of your video cards, pick the new one, then check "Use this device as my primary monitor" and "Extend my Windows desktop to this monitor" Then apply and ok, the screen will go blankm then you unplug the monitor from the old one and put it in the new one you just installed. Then you can mess around with the settings like resolution etc.

Speed is not a problem. No commercial hard drive can overload the PCI bus. Not even close (by a factor of 100 at least).\n\nHowever, SATA cards have a reputation for being painfully hard to install and almost impossible to work with if you don't already have windows running (so installing windows on one from the cd isn't easy at all). They are getting better, and people figured out how to make slipstream cds with drivers, but it's still harder with a card.

My Dell Inspron notebook requires me to load the drivers for my network card from the CD that came with my network card. Windws would not find the drivers automatically, and you have to load the CD BEFORE you insert the network card, or you will have to uninstall the drivers and reinstall them.

You should be able to install it yourself. All you need is a "+" head screw driver, and about 30 mins.\n\nFor a desktop http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3942786\nFor a notebook http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3942788\n\nThe first link goes in a PCI slot inside your desktop computer.\nThe white slots http://www.hothardware.com/reviews/images/tualatin/pci_slot.jpg\nThe second link goes inside your notebook's PCICMA slot\nThe card http://www.infopackets.com/graphics/4+port+usb+2+pcmcia+highspeed.gif\nThe slot http://www.sip.be/hardware/pcmcia-kaart-toshiba-kl.jpg
