Tascam US-144 manual Installing the drivers for Windows XP, Installation procedure

3 – Installation

Installing the drivers

In order to use the US-144, you must install the appropriate drivers into your computer. As described below, this is an easy process using the CD-ROM included with the US-144.

Drivers are updated from time to time. You can download the most recent version of the drivers from the TASCAM website <http://www.tascam.com/>.

Do not connect the US-144 to your comput- er before you have installed the drivers.

CAUTION

Handle the enclosed CD-ROM with care. If the disc becomes scratched or dirty, your computer may be unable to read it and the software cannot be installed. If the disc becomes unreadable, a fee will be charged for its replacement.

WARNING

Never attempt to play the enclosed CD- ROM in a conventional audio CD player, as the resulting noise may damage your speakers or your hearing.

Installing the drivers for Windows XP

The US-144’s drivers are provided on the CD-ROM as an executable installer enti- tled US-122L & US-144 driver x_yy.exe. (x_yy is the version number.)

Installation procedure

1� Make sure that the US-144 is not con- nected to your computer.

2� Double-click the executable installa- tion file US-122L & US-144 driver x_ yy.exe. The installer will start up.

3� Select the desired language from the menu and click the OK button. A dia- log box will appear.

4� Click the Install the Driver button.

The drivers will be installed.

NOTE

During driver installation, a warning that this software ... has not passed Windows Logo testing will appear. This warning appears when you attempt to install a driver that has not passed Windows Logo testing; however, please be assured that TASCAM has verified that this driver for Windows XP does work correctly.

If this message appears, click Continue to proceed with the installation.

If a message asks you to restart your com- puter, restart your computer.

After restarting, connect the US-144 to your computer. The Windows Plug and Play system will detect the new USB hard- ware, and the Add New Hardware wizard will start up. The wizard will automatically find the necessary files. (This will take about 30 to 60 seconds.)

The drivers are now installed, and the US-144 is ready to operate.
