win ME locks up when installing network driver

Question

I removed a LINKSIS ETHERFAST 10/100 LAN CARD MODEL: LNE100TX ver 4.1 from a GATEWAY computer with win 98 and a Celeron processor and installed it in a DELL with a PENTUM III and windows ME. I downloaded the driver file NETLNEV4.INF from LINKSIS. The DELL computer recognizes the card and the driver file but locks up  when I try to get it to load NETLNEV4.INF for WIN ME. Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks

IT IS FIXED! I had over 19,000 0 byte inf files in windows\inf. Microsoft article Q281967 tells how to erase the files and Q301540 tells how to locate the files. Thanks to anyone who attempted to help.
