D) USING WME_W98_MAXX_4_12_7942.exe
Overview
There are two phases to the installation of a driver that has been downloaded from the ATI WEB site.
The first phase occurs when you run the WME_W98_MAXX_4_12_7942.exe program.
This phase creates a temporary directory on the system disk and unpacks all the individual files that make up the ATI software bundle.
In the second phase the ATI SETUP program is launched from the temporary directory created in the first phase. ATI SETUP installs the software (from the temporary directory) into the operating system.
Steps
a) You must download WME_W98_MAXX_4_12_7942.exe and save it to a directory on your systems hard disk.
