How can I get my wireless connection working?
I have a Dell OptiPlex GX100 desktop computer running Windows 2000 Professional, on which I want to have wireless internet access.
I recently purchased this (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/54mbps-usb-wireless-802-11b-g-wi-fi-lan-adapter-dongle-with-built-in-antenna-33996) Wireless LAN card. it came with a mini CD that my computer won't read.
I put all the files on the CD onto a Flash drive and transfered them from there to the optiplex. Which File do I use to install the driver for my Wireless LAN card?
There are 3 folders on the CD, they are: 54mbps Access Point, PCI Wireless LAN card(RT2561), and USB Wireless Dongle(3070).
Each of the 3 folder have four folders in them labeled: Linux, Mac, Wince, and Windows. All of the Windows folders have Setup Applications in them, the other OS folders have Varying types of files.
Can someone tell me how I can get this thing working?

Hi, I checked that link but it doesn't mention what operating systems that it is compatible with. A lot of wireless cards or adapters that are on sale only offer drivers for XP/Vista/Windows 7. I would imagine finding one that offers drivers for Windows 2000 or Windows 98 will be very difficult. If there are any manuals that came with the adapter have a look to see if it mentions what versions of Windows it will support.
