Advice
- If you don't have internet, ask a friend to download the file for you and pass it to you on a stick so you can install it.
- If you call the manufacturer, they may mail you the driver if you don't have the installation disc and can't find a friend to download it for you.
- If you don't have a friend who can help you, go to a library and download the driver from there.
