WIN95 NOT DETECTING DRIVER

[TOMEADS]

I REMOVED THE DRIVER FOR MY SOUND CARD AND WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL THE DRIVER I DOWNLOADED IT SAYS IT IS NOT THERE. THIS VERSION OF WIN95 DID NOT HAVE THE CORRECT DRIVER, THAT IS WHY I'M DOING THIS. WHY WON'T IT FIND THE DRIVER? DO I HAVE TO OPEN THE FILE ON THE DISK? NOT REAL SAVY ON THIS.

If the file you downloaded to your disk is a program (an EXE file) then run it, it is either an installation program which will setup the new drivers for you, or a self-extracting archive which will extract the drivers to the folder. Then tell Windows to look in that folder as Sowulo instructed, and you have been trying.

If the downloaded file is a ZIP file, it contains the files you need but you will have to unzip it with Winzip. Once again, this will put the files it contains into the folder for Windows to find.

If you need Winzip and don't have it, you can download it from here:
