Installation under Windows Me
Preliminary Notes
The installation instructions in this section are based on the following assumptions:
• The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter hardware has already been installed in
the computer in accordance with the computer manufacturer's instructions.
• The computer has not been powered on since the hardware installation was completed.
• No other wireless LAN card is installed in this computer.
To install the driver before installing hardware, use Start > Run and browse to the file
SetupWLD.exe in the path PROW7100\WINSE-ME on the Intel CD. After running
SetupWLD.exe, shut down the computer and install the hardware. When the computer restarts,
the driver will be automatically installed.
Driver Installation
To install the software in Windows* Me (Millennium Edition), follow these steps:
1. Power up the computer in which the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter
hardware has just been installed.
2. Wait for Windows to detect the newly installed hardware and display the Add New
Hardware Wizard dialog. DO NOT click Next. Verify that Automatic search for a better
driver (Recommended) is selected. If Windows does not detect the new hardware, see
Troubleshooting.
3. Insert the Intel CD into your CD drive. Windows installs the driver from the CD. If the
installation does not start automatically, click Next on the Add New Hardware Wizard
screen.
4. On the Network Name screen, click Next to accept the default Network Name (SSID)
101, or enter a specific SSID for your network, then click Next.
5. On the Data Encryption screen, click Next to accept the default encryption setting
None, or enter specific encryption settings for your network, then click Next.
6. Click Finish on the Add New Hardware Wizard screen when the driver installation is
complete.
7. When prompted to restart the computer, click No. You will restart it manually later.
Proceed to install PROSet.
Intel(R) PROSet Installation (Required)
To install the Intel PROSet utility, continue with the following steps:
Some versions of this product do not support the Intel(R) PRO Network Connections menu
screen for installation of utility software. If the Intel(R) PRO Network Connections menu screen
does not appear, or if it does not have a menu item for Wireless LAN Adapters, you can start the
PROSet installer manually using Start > Run and browsing to the file PROSet.msi in the path
APPS/PROSet/WN98SEME on the Intel CD supplied with the product. Skip Steps 8 and 9 below
and continue with Step 10.
