Troubleshooting  
Q1: I inserted the TEW-421PC/TEW-423PI CD-ROM into my computer's CD-ROM Drive and the  
installation menu does not appear automatically. What should I do?  
A1: If the installation menu does not appear automatically, click Start, click Run, and type  
D:\Autorun.exe where "D" in "D:\Autorun.exe" is the letter assigned to your computer's CD-ROM  
Drive. Then click OK to start the installation.  
Q2: How do I install the wireless card on Windows 98SE or ME?  
A2: Please refer to the User's Guide included on the Utility & Driver CD-ROM.  
Q3: I completed all the steps in the quick installation guide, but my card is not connecting to my  
access point. What should I do?  
A3: You should first verify that the Network Name (SSID) matches your wireless router or  
access point's SSID. If they already match, you should check your TCP/IP properties to ensure that  
Obtain an IP Address Automatically is selected. Refer to your Windows User's Manual if you are  
unable to locate your TCP/IP properties.  
Q4: Windows is unable to recognize my hardware. What should I do?  
A4: First, make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements as specified in Section 1 of  
this quick installation guide. Second, you must install the wireless configuration utility BEFORE you  
physically install your network card. Third, move the wireless card to a different PCI/PC  
Card Slot.  
Q5: I cannot open the wireless configuration utility. What should I do?  
A5: Access your device manager to make sure the adapter is installed properly. If you see a  
networking device with a yellow question mark or exclamation point, you will need to reinstall the  
device and/or the drivers. To access your device manager, right-click My Computer, click  
Properties, click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
