Section 2. Setting Up Your iSee

Disabling iTunes Auto-Launch
If you’ve been using iTunes with your iPod, you know that
iTunes usually auto-launches (launches automatically)
whenever you connect your iPod to the computer. Disabling
iTunes auto-launch is optional, but it’s more convenient if you
do so, because the VidiScape installation replaces this iTunes
auto-launch with its own auto-launch selector. (The iSee
installer also explains how to disable iTunes auto-launch.) You
can always launch iTunes manually, simply by double-clicking
on the iTunes icon.
Installation Options
The installer displays several installation options. In most
cases, you’ll want to install all of the software and files on the
disc.
The installer places a VidiScape icon on your Windows
desktop, and places a shortcut to VidiScape in your Start
menu.
The iSee software disc contains:
• Driver files and other firmware that are installed on your iPod
to let the iSee work with your computer.
• Sample video, pictures, and music—including a convenient
tutorial video—that load automatically onto your iPod, so you
can get started using your iSee right away.
• VidiScape software for your computer that lets you manage
your media files (video, music, and photos) and download
them to the iSee. VidiScape also converts those media files
into formats that your iSee can play.
• ArcSoft MediaConverter software that is used by VidiScape
to convert a wide variety of media files for the iSee.
• DirectX 9, which is required by VidiScape. You don’t need to
install this if you already have DirectX 9 on your computer.
If Asked to Restart Your Computer
Depending on your computer’s current configuration and what
you install, you may be asked to restart your computer when a
particular installation step is complete. You can safely wait until
you’ve installed all software on your computer before you
restart. (In other words, you only have to restart once!)
