Broadband installation problems

I've used dialup for around 5 yrs now and have always been satisfied with the service.

I have a P3 500 with 256mb using Windows 98SE

I've now taken the big step into the world of BB and having registered etc. got an installation date of 23rd Feb.
All the bits and pieces arrived, and installation started.

All went fine until the point I linked the Voyager 205 router into my PC (via USB).
Got the 'detecting new hardware' message as you normally do, but then a pop-up box said that the system was 'scanning' and that the source was the Windows 98 CD-ROM.
The documentation say that Win98SE users may have to enter their system disk when requested, but there was no 'request' to do this.
After a couple of minutes a new popup box tells me that the system can't find the file and suggests cleaning and reinserting the disk.

I've deinstalled and tried again, this time inserting the 'un-requested' system disk, but still the same problem.

I've tried the ISPs help desk, but last call was unsatisfactory with no help offered other than contact Microsoft... pity they don't support Win98SE anymore

So.....

Anyone have any idea around what the probably could be.. is it software or my antique-ish pc? Does anyone know how to fix the issue?

Before I ordered I used the ISPs own checker to make sure the PC was suitable...

Cheers
