The Windows 95 operating system automatically detects and installs the NIC driver.
This subsection provides instructions for reinstalling the NIC driver on systems run-
ning a Dell-installed Windows 95 Service Release 2.1 operating system. Instructions
for reinstalling the NIC driver on systems running a Windows 95 operating system not
installed by Dell are also provided.
To determine your operating system version, click the Start button, point to Settings,
and click the Control Panel. Double-click the System icon to access the System Prop-
erties window, and click the General tab. If your system version is 4.00.950 B, then
the operating system is Dell-installed Windows 95 Service Release 2 or later. The sys-
tem version is 4.00 for Windows 95 operating systems not installed by Dell.
NOTE: If you reinstall Windows 95, you must use either the Windows 95 operating
system release version provided by Dell or its equivalent. Because of the advanced
architecture of your Dell Precision 410, some components will not function correctly
with Windows 95 versions earlier than Service Release 2.0 or 2.1.
