Installing the Drivers and
Configuration Utility for Windows
95, 98, ME, and 2000
Before You Start
Your new Linksys Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card V2.5 comes with an
automated software installation procedure for Windows 95, 98, Millennium,
and 2000. Windows NT users should refer to the next section. This new pro-
cedure automatically installs the drivers and Configuration Utility before you
install your hardware, so there's no searching for the location of drivers. Again,
this step is taken before installing your hardware.
Running the Auto Driver Installation
1. Before installing your adapter, insert the Setup CD into your CD-ROM drive.
Unless you have deactivated the auto-run feature of Windows, the following
screen should appear automatically.
If this screen does not appear automatically, you can access the installation
by pressing the Start button and choosing Run. In the drop-down box pro-
vided, type D:\setup.exe (where D: is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).
Alternately, double-click My Computer, and then double-click the CD-
ROM drive where the Setup CD is located. Double-click the Setup.exe icon
that appears.

2. The first tab across the top of the screen, labeled Install, should now be high-
lighted. Click on the Install button. The following screen should appear,
indicating that Windows is preparing the installation.
If, for whatever reason, you need to abort or terminate the installation, press
the Cancel button at any time during the installation. Otherwise the instal-
lation will continue automatically.
Note: If you stop the installation before it has finished, you will have to
run the installation completely again before installing your hardware.
3. This screen will appear next, indicating that Windows is ready to continue
the installation. Click the Next button.
