WIN 95 Menu Install and Run a New Program Next Topic
Activity 8

Objectives:

    Plug and Play

    In the past, whenever you installed new hardware devices, you had to tinker with Windows so that it recognized the new device and could send and receive data to and from the device. Well, those days are gone. Windows 95 queries the new device for you and sets all the necessary parameters to communicate with the new device. The new device must say "Plug and Play" on the box for this feature to work, but, of course, most hardware manufactures follow this standard.

    1. Open My Computer.
    2. Choose Control Panel.
