To load a driver:

2. In INF Path, enter the path to the driver information file or click Browse to locate it.
3. Click INSTALL DRIVER!

After the driver is installed, you should be able to locate the driver using Utilities > Explore My Computer. Similarly, the system should be able to locate and use the driver.

If you do not have the driver information file on the current drive, do one of the following:

Load a CD or DVD disk with the correct drivers into the CD/DVD drive or plug a USB device with the correct drivers into a USB port.
Close Active@ Driver Installer. Use Opera Internet Browser or another Internet utility to download the driver from an Internet URL and save it to your hard drive. Start this procedure again at step 1.

You can load drivers automatically at boot time. For more information, see 1.4 BootDisk_Drivers and BootDisk_Scripts.
