Re: cannot copy driver.cab



Hi,

She should be able to copy driver.cab from the I386 folder on the CD to the
C:\Windows\Driver_Cache\I386 folder on the installation right from Windows
Explorer. And, yes, it's quite likely that part of her problems with
installing the ISP software extend from this, they are looking for a network
card that the system does not recognize as being installed since it cannot
find the needed driver(s) from the driver.cab file to do so.
