Setting up home network

Trying to include my Windows98-based computer in a home
network. While running the network setup, the system asks
me to insert the Windows 98 CD, which I don't have (it was
pre-loaded and all I have is a recovery disk). It seems
to be looking for secur32.dll , though there are about 6
copies of that file in different folders on the hard
disk.

Anyone know a way around this impasse? Or, if the answer
is that I need a Windows98 CD, will any one do?

Thanks in advance --

See if you have the Windows setup files (search for a folder containing
several dozen files that begin with WIN98 and end with the letters CAB) on
your hard drive, if you do you can tell the driver installer to look there
for the files it needs. Otherwise you'll need to get a Windows 98 CD to
complete the process and get your network working - and it will need to be
the same Windows 98 version as your PC has.
