I'm trying to install the driver of my sound card in windows 98. I need the command line for installation though and i don't know what that is.

You should install your drivers from the installation program in Win98(start--setting--control panel--add new hardware). It is a wizard and will walk you thru the whole process.

With PnP, Windows should "find" the new hardware when you first boot after installing the card in the slot. It will ask where it should go for drivers. I assume that you have a CD. Put it in the CD-ROM and then type in the path to the CD in the appropriate window in the install screen.

Usually you will be looking at a command path something like this:
(cd rom)drive:\win98\eng or cd rom:\win9x\drivers\eng
But it usually always ends up on the language folder being the last you have to choose. Hope this helps.

Kyle, that's two posts by you asking the same question. You should stick to your original posting/string. That said, and no one has asked yet, what sound card are you trying to install drivers for? Is it an old 16 bit card, a 32 bit card, what?

If it is plug and play it will ask for the driver cd. If not, do not look in Add/Remove programs. Go into the Icon just to the left called "Add New Hardware".
