Hey ted - I don't know what the thread is but that is a nifty idea! I don't know why I never thought of that. So many times I would be prompted for my cd to install drivers and would have to search all the appropriate folders trying to find it. I don't know how many times I cussed when that da*ned error would pop up telling me that it could not find any appropriate drivers on the disk and it was usually because I had it looking in the wrong place! I am going to do this. Don't mean to sound so dumb but I really like this idea :-) Mick ted clark wrote: >hi Connie c >this happened to me several times when searching for >drivers that I was sure were there ? >this was successful for me about 70% of the time;- >add a new folder to your hdd; give it a distinctive >name. >copy the 'drivers' folder from your cd into this folder, >then use the full path address when asked by the 'new >driver wizard' >hope this works for you >cheers >Ted > >To unsub or change your email settings: >//www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk > >To access our Archives: >http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ >//www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ > > > > To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
