If you have correctly typed these statements in, you should now be back at
the Windows Desktop. It is important that you do not reboot or restart the
system at this time. Instead, insert your DataLink V.90 Fax Modem into
the computer and perform the installation using the files provided with the
modem (See the Installing the Modem, Windows 95 section). After you
have finished the installation, return here and follow these very impor-
tant steps. Go to Start-Programs and select MS-DOS Prompt. At the
c:> prompt, type in the following commands in the order listed:
cd c:\windows\inf <enter>
rename oem0.inf oem20.inf
rename *.bak *.inf <enter>
exit <enter>
If everything has been entered and no errors have been issued, your mo-
dem and system will be properly configured and ready to use. This proce-
dure renames all of the .inf files in Windows, basically removing them
from the system. This allows you to install the modem and force Windows
to accept the installation files you provide. After the modem has installed,
you then rename all of the .inf files to their proper file extension so that
the hardware they control can be used by the system. This is a compli-
cated but safe procedure if carried out according to the instructions.

Eject the modem from the computer and go to Start-Settings-Control
Panel. Double-click the Modems icon. Highlight the modem by clicking

to the desktop screen. Do not reboot or restart the system. Now go to
Start-Programs and select MS-DOS Prompt. At the c:> prompt, type in
the following commands in the order listed (Note: if you have renamed
your Windows Directory from C:\Windows, substitute the new name for
Windows in the commands that follow.):
cd c:\windows\inf <enter>
rename *.inf *.bak <enter>
cd c:\windows\inf\other <enter>
rename *.inf *.bak <enter>
exit <enter>
