Chapter 4 Software Installation

Windows

A driver is NOT required for Windows Vista, but may be required for a Windows XP installation. You should first install your 3rd Party card and connect Magma ExpressBox1 following instructions as described in Chapter 2. Only if you are having problems with your Windows XP system should you install the Magma ExpressCard drivers.

Before attempting to install anything on a Windows XP system, you should ensure that you have set a new Restore Point. See your Windows XP manual to learn how to set a new Restore Point. You should ensure that all data files are closed and that you have a current backup.

STOP

Before installing drivers, you should ensure that you have a current system backup of all of your important data.

Failure to follow these instructions exactly could result in a system lock-up and potential loss of data.

Be alert Be careful Be protected

You must also disable your anti-virus software before continuing.

For best success when installing the Magma driver:

ƒHave a current system backup or restore point

ƒReboot and Shut down each time you are prompted

ƒBe logged in as ‘System Administrator’

ƒFollow the installation instructions provided in this guide

You must be logged in as ‘System Administrator’ while installing Magma ExpressBox1. You must remain logged in as ‘System Administrator’ until installation is complete.
