Once the PowerFile MediaFinder software has been installed and the Changer has been connected to the host system as outlined above, you can check for proper driver installation.

With the MediaFinder software install disc still in the CD drive of the host system, depress the power button on the Changer to power up the unit.

Go to Control Panel on the host PC, and select "System"

Choose the Hardware tab, and select Device Manager, to bring up the following window:

When this window appears, look for a folder icon labeled "Medium Changers". If you see this icon, you should see an icon in that folder labeled with either "STARMATIX INC...", or "PowerFile..." with a Changer model identification. If you see this, driver installation was successful, and you can skip to the next sectiton.

If you do not see the "Medium Changer" folder icon, then you should see an icon labeled "Other Devices", and within that folder you will see either "STARMATIX INC...", or "PowerFile..." with a Changer model identification. This indicates that the driver needs to be installed.
