SOFTWARE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS 95 NDIS DRIVER HP J3239A DeskDirect EL-10 ISA Combo Adapter The Windows 95 drivers information file for HP is "WINSETUP.INF" in the root directory of the Support Disk for HP J3239A. PREREQUISITE: Before doing this procedure, Windows 95 must have been installed BEFORE the adapter hardware was installed or cabled. IF Windows 95 has not yet been installed or upgraded and the adapter hardware is already installed, then remove the adapter and then install or upgrade Windows 95, before doing the procedure below. IF the adapter hardware was installed and then Windows 95 was installed and upgraded, then your installation probably will not operate correctly.

When you start Windows 95, the adapter just installed is automatically detected, and the New Hardware Found dialog box displays.

For "Manufacturer's disk" insert the support disk. 5. After completing the device and driver setup, remove any disk still in the drive a and restart your computer. 6. You may need to respond to the "Enter Network password" dialog box before you can proceed. ========================================== INSTALLATION ON NON-PLUG-AND-PLAY COMPUTER ========================================== 1.

Remove the support disk from the floppy drive and restart your computer. =============== TROUBLESHOOTING =============== CASE 1: You installed the adapter hardware before upgrading/installing Windows 95: THEN do "REMOVING ALL TRACES OF A PREVIOUS DRIVER" procedure below. Then follow the normal procedure to install the software and driver for Windows 95. CASE 2: You expected the "New Hardware Found" dialog box, but it does not appear. That is, you have just installed the adapter hardware into an ISA Plug-and-Play computer and returned to Windows, but Windows does not give that dialog box. THEN follow one of the three possibilities below: IF you are installing the adapter into a computer that is NOT ISA Plug-and-Play, then this is normal. Follow the procedure for "INSTALLATION ON NON-PLUG-AND-PLAY COMPUTER" above. IF "New Hardware Found" did appear once but you ignored it: THEN see "Recovering from missing new..." below. IF you installed the adapter hardware before upgrading/installing Windows 95: THEN do "Removing all traces of a previous driver" procedure below. Then follow the procedure to install the software and driver for Windows 95. -------------------------------------------------- Removing all traces of a previous driver procedure -------------------------------------------------- 1. IF you are already running HPEISET, go to step 2 below. IF you are not running HPEISET, then boot your computer in native DOS without loading network [software or?] drivers. The procedure is found in your product manual for running HPEISET. 2. In DOS, change to the \INF subdirectory (a hidden subdirectory) of the \WINDOWS directory on the hard drive: cd \windows\inf Delete the WINSETUP.INF file: del winsetup.inf 3. Change to the "system" subdirectory of the "windows" directory: cd \windows\system Find the driver files: dir hpeind.* and then delete the one(s) you found: del hpeind.sys del hpeind.vxd 4. Restart your computer and enter Windows 95 normally. 5. From the Control Panel (press [Start] and select Settings and then Control Panel) do the following: Open "System". The System Properties dialog box appears. Click on the Device Manager tab to open its dialog box. Double-click on "Network Adapters". Select the adapter product that you have installed. Click on [Remove]. Click [OK] in the Confirm Device Removal dialog box. Close Device Manager and Control Panel. 6. When you restart the computer, the "New Hardware Found" dialog box should appear in Windows 95. Re-install a driver for the adapter, according to the Windows 95 installation instructions above. ------------------------------------------------------- Recovering from missing "New Hardware Found" dialog box ------------------------------------------------------- Possible Cause: Ignoring the first instance of the "New Hardware Found" dialog box when restarting the computer after installing adapter hardware.
