### Installation Notes for Windows Me

If you will be installing Windows Me or if you will be upgrading the adapter drivers in a multi-adapter Windows Me system, please read the following.

You can update drivers using either the Intel CD or the Update Device Driver wizard.

- To update drivers using the Intel CD, insert the CD and then click Install Base Drivers Only.

- To update the driver in Device Manager, double-click the Network Adapter listing. Click Intel(R) PRO/1000 Desktop Adapter then click Properties. Select the Driver tab and click the Update Driver button. Using the Update driver wizard, be very careful to choose the 'Automatic search for a better driver...' option and be sure Windows points to the drive of your inserted media. After the wizard completes, click Finish then restart the computer.

If you have multiple Intel adapters in your Windows Me system, you must be sure to update all of the Intel adapters to the software included with your new card. Failing to update any other Intel adapter in the system will cause the new adapter not to function. The failure will look as though the new adapter did not receive the proper update when you loaded the new driver, but this is NOT the case.

The problem is that Windows Me cannot find the new driver while an older driver still exists on another adapter, so all other Intel adapters must be updated to the new driver. Do not attempt to use any drivers already in any system directory.
