search for the driver. Select No, not this time and then click Next.

Simple Communications Controller. It also asks what you want the wizard to do.

Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and then click Next.

4. Specify the location of the driver in the Utility CD and then click Next. This instructs

the wizard to search your CD for the correct driver.

5. In the next screen, click Finish to end the installation. A notification appears at the

bottom of the screen informing you that the hardware is ready to use.
