About Hardware: CD-ROM, VGA, Printer...

I am sure you've been asking yourself about setting up your hardware
e.g Video Card, Printer, Scanner, Mouse, Modem and other devices you might have.
Common Devices hooked to any computer are the Mouse, Video Card (to output an image to the screen), a Keyboard, maybe a Printer.

In order to attach any device to your computer you need something called a driver. A Driver enables Windows to identify and communicate with the piece of hardware.
You can find the Driver on floppies/CD shipped with the product.
Windows98 includes tons of drivers for many devices: Video Cards, CD-Roms, Printers. In most cases you will not need a driver for your Keyboard.
I am sure Windows98 will recognize every single device attached to your system, make sure you have the Driver disk for
every device just in case.

Never plug something to your computer while it's ON, serious damages can happen. Always turn it off by removing any power supply.

Today plugging a device into the computer is a piece of cake, with PnP or Plug and Play support, Windows can automatically detect the piece of Hardware, and you'll see a message like Detecting Hardware.... Windows is Searching...
A detailed Hardware installation guide will be soon available on TECKIES.TUTOR

NOTE: When buying any device, whether it's a Printer, Scanner, anything at all, make sure you have the Driver disc.
When Windows Starts for the First time, you will be prompted for some input like setting the time zone... Enter a username and Password (make sure you remember your password) and follow the instructions.
