WIN 98 FREEZES WHEN D-LINK CARD INSERTED

by rebeccaherrick . Updated 21 years ago

Hi,
Would love some help on this one. Have a laptop that just got wiped and 98 (first) reinstalled; the person want so be able to connect it to a LAN so I got a D-Link DFE 690TXD card. First time I put it in it recognized the card but did not have the driver. I downloaded the driver and all went well until 3ns before the install was complete, then froze. Restarted with card in, Bios froze with ‘too many parameters’ error. Removed card, it continued to load, added ‘device=c: \windows\system\carddrv.exe /slot=2’ to config.sys file, still froze. Still gives ?parameter? error in BIOS but now continues to load with out card in. Updated the iphlpapi.dll file, no change. Several programs are telling me the oleaut32.dll file needs to be updated, which of course the ?puter will not let me do no matter how many times I try. If I put the card in it automatically freezes, take it out and it continues doing whatever it was doing. The person swears it was connected to a LAN before. Would really appreciate some suggestions!
Thanks,
Becky
