I have a question about Troubleshooting
Driver Problems:
In the Device Manager, clicking on a device, then properties--drivers, shows a list
of driver files. Some file names are in parenthesis. A friend showed me that these
drivers have not been installed but can be extracted from the Win98 CDROM into windows/system
folder and the parenthesis disappears. Further, the files can then be found to be
in place using the FIND process in the Start menu. My question is twofold: Why
don't the drivers get installed to begin with? And should this be messed with if
there is no problem? I went through the entire Device Manager and "corrected" all
the .vxd and .dll files which were in parenthesis and see no difference, unless
that is why my system hangs frequently. I plan to do a complete reinstallation to
correct some bugs but cannot find any reference to the drivers having parenthesis
around them. Any help would be great. Thanks from a Newbie.
