I formated my HD on my extensa 367T and installed win 98 (Use to have win 95)
I down loaded video drivers from the net.
When I click setup to install on Laptop, I choose unzip to c:\temp but it tries to unzip to floppy. So I put in a floppy but cant install from there.
What am I doing wrong?

Assuming that you have unzipped the files to floppy, and there are correct files in the floppy.

Have you check if the floppy has executable?
Sometimes the drivers don't have installer.

You will want to try change the display driver through the "Display" settings in Control panel.

Click on
start >> settings >> control panel >> display >> settings >> advanced >> there should be adapter or something similar to show the display adapter property. Get in there and choose update driver or change in the property.

The OS will list or look for the new drivers, try to use "have disk" it will get you to browse the drive and choose floppy drive with the disk in it.
it will show one or more files highlighted. click "ok".

Then, there maybe more list to choose from.
Choose the correctl display adapter to install.
After installation of new driver, there has to be a reboot.

Hope this helps,
Sorry for the lousy way of explanation. :)

Just to add a note. When you call out the A:/ drive in the Browse window, go deeper until the file shown in the left pane is the .Inf file. Then install.
