Wireless card install,missing inemib1.dll etc. files

Install is calling for files that it can't locate, for example inemibi.dll,
'networks' and 'protocol' .
I can't find that file on the W98SE CD or on the hard drive using
'find files'. The PC is a 5 year old COMPAQ just restored with their
restore discs. The W98 CD is not the same ser# as on the HDD.
Card is new Belken 802.11b which says its W98 compatible.
I've tried using the Windows hardware installer but its the same.
Appreciate any ideas. Thanks,
Chris.

It's probably looking for the files in the cab files. Point it to c:\windows\options\cabs, if it can't find them there, put any Win98SE CD in the CD drive (this assumes that the restore CD put 98SE on the hard drive) and point it to x:\win98 (where x is the CD drive letter). If the restore put 98FE on, I don't believe that the card is compatible.

I installed a couple of unrelated programs while I was waiting for a reply, and
when I went back it was working.
I don't get it. As usual, it must have been the numerous reboots that did it.
thanks glc
