Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Setup / June 2005win98 finds hardware and trys to install software
Is there a way to not have Win98 try to install software when it boots and finds new hardware? I have a TV card plugged in a pci slot and it is configured with one hard drive but not with another hard drive that just goes on the internet and I don't want Windows trying to install software for it. Disable the TV card in that profile, in Device Manager, if it is already installed there; or during the find new hardware wizard, choose the option to finish without installing and it should put it in the "Other" device category of Device Manager, and not bother you again.

Alright, Glen, I am going to try to disable it in that profile; thanks for the information.

Glen, When 98 booted and it started to look at the cards in the pci slots I exited the dialog box and the next time it booted it didn't ask about the cards and they were indeed listed in yellow in "other" under device manager. Good job, Thanks Frank Glad to hear it....thanks for the feedback!
