Installing hardware in Windows 98 is a very simple process. First, you need to remove the cover to your computer, if the card is not already physically installed. Plug the card into an available expansion slot. Screw it in and replace the cover. Power on the computer and boot into Windows 98. A window should pop up, saying that it has found new hardware. Insert the disc that came with the hard drive, and tell it to search your CD-ROM for drivers. It should automatically find and install the appropriate drivers.

If you have lost your driver disk, you will need to find them online. They should be available at the manufacturer's website. Download the drivers, and tell the Hardware wizard to search the folder where you downloaded them. It should find them and install them automatically.

I downgraded my laptop from Windows XP to Windows 98 and now there is no sound. How do I fix all the problems?

You have not mentioned your laptop model. Most likely your sound card is not supported by Windows 98. You must have got the Motherboard CD when at the time of purchasing. Try to find the sound driver from that CD. However there is more chance that you will not find the driver for windows 98 in CD. I will suggest you to find it from internet or again install Windows XP. Note from the asker: It is a Dell Latitude designed for Windows XP Home.
