Issue

Windows98 Second Edition will display a Blue Screen Exception error when attempting a Plug and Play installation of the OC-3221 Token Ring Adapter.

Procedure


The problem described is a known issue with Olicom and is caused by a
corrupt driver that ships with Win98 SE (Not Win98 Original version.)
The solution is to uninstall the adapter and reinstall it with the
latest NDIS3 Driver which is available for download at

Driver installation procedure:
1.   Open 4079.zip and extract 4079.exe to a blank floppy disk.
2.   Double Click 4079.exe to expand its contents to the floppy and
     label the floppy "Olicom Driver disk."
3.   Delete that adapter from device manager.
4.   Find and delete the following files IF present:  (Hint: Make sure
     "Show All Files" is checked)
