When it comes to the point of installing the downloaded files, click on
browse and make sure the system is looking in the correct folder.

http://www.aria.co.uk do a cheap WONDERFUL pci bb modem (Bewan) for under
£20, and the *.inf file is WONDERFUL - conifgurations for several large UK
ISP's are all done for you. I put one in Dad's coomputer and didn't have to
do any manual tweaking at all! You have to download the drivers yourself
from Bewan's web-site, (easy to select the wrongs ones), but, whoever wrote
the installation certainly knew their stuff.
