If you have created custom icons to access Newpoint Compass software or screens, and if you reinstall Compass to a different hard drive location, remember to edit your icon properties (click on the icon with your alternate mouse button, select Properties).

It makes sense to back up your system before you make major changes to your hardware or install new software. Although new versions of Compass do not overwrite the files you have customized, such as init.ctl and the various .cfg files, you may want to at least copy files you have edited to another location on your hard drive. Then, if after the upgrade you find that system settings are adversely affected, you can copy your customized files back in.

Driver directories and files are untouched when you upgrade from an earlier version of Compass. When you update your drivers from the Device Library CD-ROM, the Library installation identifies each file installed and if there is a file by the same name already in the installation directory, you are given the option to save the new file by a different name.

The Configurable Driver has been renamed to Visual Driver Studio. If installing Compass over an older version, you will have to manually remove the Configurable Driver menu item in your start menu items.
