Note About Windows Logo Testing
When you install the 0202 USB 2.0 drivers, you will see a dialog box informing
you either that the driver has not been certified by Windows Hardware Quality
Labs (WHQL), or that the driver is signed by Creative Labs, Inc, and you will be
asked if you would like to continue with the installation.
The 0202 USB 2.0 audio drivers are not certified by WHQL because the product
does not support some of the features that the Microsoft Windows Logo Program
requires, most notably Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) and Digital Rights
Management (DRM).
Despite this, the 0202 USB 2.0 audio drivers have been rigorously tested using the
same test procedures that a WHQL qualified driver requires, and it passes in all of
the other important categories, including those that measure the relative stability
of the driver. So, it is perfectly safe to install these drivers on your computer.
Uninstalling all Audio Drivers and Applications
At times you may need to uninstall or reinstall the 0202 USB 2.0 application and
device drivers to correct problems, change configurations, or upgrade outdated
drivers or applications. Before you begin, close the E-MU USB 2.0 Audio control
application. Applications running during the uninstallation will not be removed.
1. Click Start -> Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
3. Click the Install/Uninstall tab (or Change or Remove Programs button).
4. Select the E-MU 0202 USB 2.0 entry and then click the Change/Remove
button.
