Windows XP

Installation

When installing the board in a Windows XP system the Spectrum board will be rec- ognized automatically on the next start-up.

The system offers the direct installation of a driver for the board.

Do not let Windows automatically search for the best driver, be- cause sometimes the driver will not be found on the CD. Please take the option of choosing a manual installation path instead.

Allow Windows XP to search for the most suitable driver in a specific directory. Se- lect the CD that was delivered with the board as installation source. The driver files are located on CD in the directory \Driver\Win98_2k_XP.

The hardware assistant shows you the exact board type that has been found like the MI.3020 in the example. Older boards (before june 2004) show „Spectrum Board“ instead.

The drivers can be used directly after installation. It is not necessary to restart the system. The installed drivers are linked in the device manager.

Below you’ll see how to examine the driver version and how to update the driver with a newer version.

Version control

If you want to check which driver version is installed in the system this can be easily done in the device manager. Therefore please start the device manager from the control panel and show the properties of the installed driver.
