Microsoft Windows 95/98 Installation 7 You must restart your computer for the changes to take effect. What if a yellow exclamation mark or a red X appears in Device Manager in front of my host adapter? This means there is some kind of resource problem. First, see if the names of any host adapters appear that are not actually installed in your computer. If so, select the name and click Remove.
Ultra160 Family Manager Set User’s Guide If I am running under Windows 95/98, do I need lines for the Adaptec Real Mode ASPI drivers and mscdex.exe in my config.sys and autoexec.bat files? Usually, you do not need to use these Real Mode ASPI drivers, because the new Windows miniport drivers support most SCSI host adapters and SCSI devices. However, you need to load the drivers (including mscdex.
Microsoft Windows 95/98 Installation My CD-ROM drive shows up as more than one icon under My Computer. The mapping between mscdex.exe, which runs in Real Mode, and the Windows 95/98 CD-ROM driver does not match. You can correct this in one of two ways: ■ Comment out the line that loads mscdex.exe in the autoexec.bat file. ■ Change the /L switch on the line that loads mscdex.exe in the autoexec.bat file so it assigns the CD-ROM drive the next highest logical drive letter after the hard disk.
