Connecting to Windows 98 and 98SE

The driver needs only to be installed once. If the driver cannot be installed automatical- ly, it can be installed manually with the operating system’s add-new-hardware wizard; see the instructions on the following page. During installation, if the operating system requests the Windows 98 CD-ROM, insert it into the CD-ROM drive and follow the accompanying instructions on the screen. No special driver software is required for other Windows operating systems.

Automatic Installation

Before connecting the camera to the computer, place the DiMAGE software CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. The DiMAGE installer menu should automatically activate. To automatically install the Windows 98 USB driver, click on the starting-up- the-USB-device-driver-installer but- ton. A window will appear to confirm that the driver should be installed; click “Yes” to continue.

When the driver has been successfully installed, a window will appear. Click “OK.”

Restart the computer before connecting the camera (p. 73).
