Computer] and start the [Add New Hardware].

3. Click [Next >] in response to [To begin installing your new

hardware, click Next] in the Add New Hardware Wizard.

4. Select [No] in response to [Do you want Windows to search for

your new hardware ?].

5. Select the [Ports (COM & LPT)] folder from the [Hardware

types:] screen.

6. Select [Communication Port] from [Models:] and click on [Have

Disk...] in the screen.

7. When the [Install From Disk] screen appears, place the floppy

disk in the drive, enter the drive name in [Copy manufacturer's
