Basking 56K Driver Update Instructions 4-7-99 ------------------------------------------------------------------ System Requirements: -Intel Pentium 166MHz or higher (Penitum II & III) --or-- -AMD K6 series processor or higher (K6-2 & K6-3) -Windows 95 or 98 If you already have a Basking combo card in your system you must uninstall the current drivers. If you are installing the Basking combo for the first time then go ahead and skip down to "Driver Installation." UNINSTALLING THE DRIVERS ------------------------ -Go into your system's Control Panel (START | SETTINGS | CONTROL PANEL) -Then go into the Add/Remove Software icon -Select the MODIO drivers from the list and click on the Add/Remove button. This will uninstall the drivers for the Basking. -When finished close all open windows. Then restart your system and continue to "Driver Installation" DRIVER INSTALLATION ------------------- When you boot your system with the Basking card installed you will be prompted by Windows 95/98 to install drivers for it. The way you search for the drivers in Windows 98 is easier than searching with Windows 95. To learn how to install the drivers in Windows 95 skip down to "Installing in Windows 95". Windows 98 Installation: -Search for the best driver -Search in the c:\sharkmm directory (or wherever you extracted the drivers to) -Windows 98 will find the driver and then simply proceed with the installation. Every device that makes up the Basking requires that you repeat this procedure a few times. -Remember to have your Windows 98 CD handy as you may need some files from it. -When Windows 98 is finished installing the drivers and you get to your desktop, restart your system. Windows 95 Installation: -95 will search for the drivers automatically. It will only search on the A: floppy drive and your CD-ROM only however. -95 will not find the drivers here since they should be in the c:\sharkmm directory. So click the Next button and you will see a screen with a button that says "Other Locations", click this button and browse to the c:\sharkmm directory. -95 will install the drivers it finds there for the Basking. You will need to go through this process a few times as there are several components that make up the Basking combo card. -Remember to have your Windows 95 CD handy as you may need some files from it. -When the drivers are finished being installed you will end up at your desktop, restart the system. WHAT TO DO IF YOU END UP ON COM 5 --------------------------------- Sometimes the modem gets installed to COM port 5. This is puzzling for many people who are used to DSP modems but this is a common occurence with HSP modems since they treat COM ports very differently than DPS modems. Simply click on START | RUN and type "comsetup" in the box. This will bring up a window which will allow you to set the COM port for the modem to the desired one. When you are finished just click the OK button and the change will take place. It is not necessary to reboot the system after using comsetup. If comsetup cannot be found on your hard drive, you can locate it in the c:\sharkmm directory.Download Driver Pack
