6 Windows 98 SE Driver Installation

Removing the Driver Software
Windows 98 automatically detects the installation of new hardware. However,
Windows 98 does not automatically detect removal of driver software. You must first
uninstall the NIC driver software before physically removing the NIC.
NOTE: You must uninstall the driver before removing the NIC and moving it to a
different slot.
To remove the NIC driver and associated software:
1 Start Windows 98 and log in.
2 Right-click My Computer, and then select Properties.
3 Click the Device Manager tab.
The Device Manager window appears.
4 Scroll down the list of hardware devices to Network Adapters. Click the plus sign
(+) to the left of the icon to display the list of NICs currently configured.
5 Click the NIC you want to uninstall (3Com Gigabit NIC), and then click Remove.
6 Click OK to confirm the removal of the NIC.
Windows prompts for a restart.
7 Turn off the power to the PC.
The driver and associated software are removed from the system. You can now
physically remove the NIC.
