Installing Device Drivers without Setup File

See this message..

I am getting several messages like this one every day. And now it is time to explain how we can install our device driver files without their "Setup.exe" file.

By the way, the reason why i do not include "Setup.exe" in my driver .zip files is, i dont have fast internet access. I use dialup connection which costs me a lot to use internet. And I can't afford to upload files of mega byte sizes.

The procedures below presumes that Windows have already been installed successfully and audio driver has never been installed in your computer system. Here are the Steps to follow...

• Click mouse right button on "My Computer" icon, then select "Device Manager"(9x/Me) [ Hardware=>Device Manager(2k) ] tab.
• Double click on the device entry which needs drivers installation. [For ex.. "PCI Multimedia Audio Device" under "Other Devices"]
• Click on "Reinstall Driver" button.
• The Hardware Install Wizard dialog box will appear.
• Follow the wizard's instructions and give the correct dirver path to wizard.
• The Hardware Install Wizard will copy the necessary files and install it to your hard drive. This completes the device driver installation.
