Verifying your computer is USB ready
PenPartner requires Windows 98. Many PCs that shipped with Windows 95 have the USB port disabled in
the BIOS. If you upgraded to Windows 98, verify that the USB ports are enabled in the BIOS and that all
necessary system software has been installed. Refer to your system documentation or contact your
system manufacturer for information on enabling USB support for your computer.
Run the USB Ready utility located on the PenPartner CD-ROM to check if your system is USB ready.
If your system is not USB ready, correctly configure your USB port and install the necessary USB system
software, then restart your computer. The New Hardware Found dialog should appear and you can
continue with the PenPartner installation.
