1 UNPLUG the hardware
2 Unzip the zip file using winzip freezip or other zip utility, .zip files
are not drivers, they are a method of compressing one or more files to make
transmission faster.
3 run the installer program contained within the .zip file (.exe .msi .inf
or read the readme files to find out exactly how)
4 reboot if required by installer program
5 Plug in hardware, the wizard will locate and register the installed driver
USB devices in windows 98, the driver should be installed BEFORE the
hardware is connected.
'Add new hardware' wizard with browse windows etc, only appears when you
have done something wrong
when all else fails read the instructions on the web page that you
downloaded the driver file from,

| Bob,
| When you say "run the installer program", do you mean the "add hardware"
| wizard? I downloaded a file (memorykeydriver.zip) from the Dell site; but
no
| installer program was downloaded with it. The set of instuctions I
| downloaded did not mention an installer program; but did say the Add New
| Hardware wizard would start after inserting the memory key.
