2-2 Windows ME and Windows 98 SE Installation CD
Requirement
Before beginning the installation of an ORiNOCO Wireless Client, confirm that you have a
Windows 98 SE or Windows ME installation CD available (depending on the computer’s
operating system). Windows 98/ME users may be prompted to insert a Windows CD during the
installation. You should not need a Windows CD when installing the card in a Windows XP or
Windows 2000 computer.
If you do not have a Windows 98/ME CD, it is possible that you already have the Windows
installation files on your hard drive. These Windows installation files are known as Windows
Cabinet or CAB files. The Cabinet files are commonly located in
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\INSTALL\ or C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS\.
Windows 98/ME users may need the Windows CD or Cabinet files
to complete the installation of an ORiNOCO Wireless Client.
Proxim recommends that you do not proceed with the installation
until you have confirmed that you have one of these Windows
installation media available.
