Problems with Installing Network Drivers

SUMMARY: A possible Windows 95 network driver installation fix.

Are you having problems getting your network to work after installing the drivers, even if you know all of the settings were entered in correctly? If so, and when you rebooted Win95 after installing the drivers, did the computer fully shut down or did it stop at the "waiting" screen?

If so, do not restart Win95 when Windows prompts you to do so after installing network drivers. Instead, tell Win95 not to restart or that you will restart later when prompted. Then, click on the "Start" button, hold down the SHIFT key, select "Shut Down," then select "Restart the Computer" on the dialog box which appears and click OK. Make sure the SHIFT key is still held down. Win95 will restart itself without restarting the computer. You can now restart the computer normally, and the network drivers should work.
