jheron 0 Posted January 8, 2005 Hello I have an old xircom wireless pcmcia card for my laptop the card is no longer supported I have NT4 drivers and win95 drivers for the card, when win2k tries to install the drivers it says "The style of the INF is different than what was requested" Is there any way to change the INF to work with win 2k? I bought the access point and the PCMCIA card brand new in the box for $25.00 canadian not knowing that it wont run under win2k Here is the inf file if that will help some one help me: Code: ; CNW.INF;;

jheron 0 Posted January 8, 2005 Thanks for the reply! Yes I have the win2k INF file for a similar xircom wireless card but the differances are huge Do you know if the registry key entry is the same in 2k as it is in 95? lol probly a stupid question! Anyways thanks for taking the time to post.. much appreciated! sincerely Jon Share this post Link to post
jheron 0 Posted January 9, 2005 Well I can get the driver to install now but I cant get the card to "start" I have not been able to find a "INF how to" file just lots of referance to the DDk witch must be purchased. I think I am in way over my head but its been fun! lol If I ever get it going I will post back:) Thanks again for your help! regards Jon Share this post Link to post
