Windows Installation

Windows 98 installation

Note

Some computer systems ship with an OEM version of Windows 98 that does not contain the entire generic USB driver and audio platform. If you experience any trouble loading the USB drivers, please refer to the troubleshooting section at the end of this user manual for further instructions.

1 There is no need to turn your computer off when plugging the

Digital PCLink in for the first time. Locate your computer’s USB port and plug the supplied USB cable in. Now plug the Digital PCLink into the other end of the USB cable.

2 Windows 98 will open an Add New Hardware Wizard and let

you know it is found the Digital PCLink. It will then start loading drivers for a USB Composite Device, USB Human Interface Device, or USB Audio Device, depending on what components have previously been installed on your system. Click Next.

3 Check the option Search for the best driver for your

device (Recommended) and click Next.

4 Windows 98 should already have the various USB components

installed and will automatically default to the location of those drivers on your hard drive. Click Next. If Windows 98 does not have the various USB components loaded, it will tell you that the files could not be found and will request the Windows 98 CD. In this case, put your Windows 98 CD into the CD-ROM drive and place a check next to CD-ROM drive, then click Next.

5 The Wizard will now let you know it has located drivers for a

USB Composite Device, USB Human Interface Device, or USB Audio Device and will identify these drivers under the heading Location of Driver. This location may be your hard drive, or CD-ROM drive, depending on what drivers your system has had installed in the past. Click Next.

6 The first set of drivers will now install. 7 Once the first set of drivers finishes installing, Windows 98 may

require the other two USB drivers to also be installed. This will depend on what USB audio devices have previously been used on your system. Simply follow the procedure outlined above until all the required USB drivers have been loaded.

8 Once all of the required drivers have been installed, Windows 98

will start. We recommend rebooting your computer to ensure all changes take effect.

9 Your driver installation for the Digital PCLink is now complete.

1 There is no need to turn your computer off when plugging the

3 In the Add New Hardware Wizard, place a check next to the

option Automatic Search for a Better Driver (Recommended) and click Next.

4 The Add New Hardware Wizard will load a Windows Driver

folder. When it has completed loading the drivers from this folder, the Add New Hardware Wizard will let you know it has finished installing the new hardware device. Click on Finish. If during this process, Windows Me notifies you that there is a version conflict and that a file being copied is older than a file currently on your computer, click Yes to keep the existing file.

5 Once the first set of drivers has finished installing, Windows Me

may require the other two USB drivers to also be installed. This will depend on what USB audio devices have previously been used on your system. Simply follow the procedure outlined above until all the required USB drivers have been installed.

6 Once all of the required drivers have been installed, Windows Me

will start. Your driver installation for the Digital PCLink now complete.

Windows 2000 installation

1 With USB technology, there is no need to turn your computer off

when plugging the Digital PCLink in for the first time. Locate your computer’s USB port and plug the supplied USB cable in. Now plug the Digital PCLink into the other end of the USB cable.

2 Windows 2000 will automatically detect the addition of a new

USB interface. It will automatically update your USB drivers, including USB Composite Device, USB Human Interface Device, and USB Audio Device.

3 Once Windows 2000 has completed updating the USB drivers, it

will automatically set the Digital PCLink as your preferred multimedia device. We recommend rebooting your computer to ensure all changes take effect.

4 Your driver installation for the Digital PCLink is now complete.
