I have a number of HP Omnibook XE3-gf laptops which I require to be used for training tomorrow. The problem that I have is that the OS that these notebooks came with was Win2K and due to having to use software that only ran on Win98, I had to install Win98 on it. Now Win98 is working, I have had issues finding drivers, which I eventually found on the HP site. The video driver has been installed successfully, but when I run the audio driver .exe and restart the laptop to update settings, the laptop asks me to insert the Win98 2Ed CD rom. It then prompts me a number of times that certain files cannot be found on W98 cd.
Should I search for these files in the HP driver directory created by the original audio .exe instead??

Many thanks
Anton

If driver.exe was a compressed file that created a directory containing the driver files, point it to that directory instead of the 98 cd. I've often found that installation programs don't know where to find the files they need. It may tell you they're on the 98 cd when actually they're somewhere else.

If driver.exe actually install the drivers, try clicking next on the page that asks where to search. Just ignore the options. Sometimes it defaults to the .inf file the installation program created.
