Thanks for the advice. I couldn't find anything on the D-link site, or
any DLL file of this name that was specifically ME or 98.

So I figured it must have been in the original setup file, so I ran
setup again and it didn't improve. So finally I had the great idea to
rename wlanapi.dll (the one that doesn't work) and then run setup
again. Then everything worked.

I didn't just run the setup program in the first place because the
error message was so specific, but I shouldn't have let that get me.

I had a major hard drive crash a few months ago, and that's probably
when I lost this file. I thought I had used this wireless card since
then, but when I used it yesterday, the list of possible networks as
displayed in this software was new to me, so I guess I never did run
it in this country. (I bought the wireless card overseas.)

Thanks a lot.
