Windows 98 Gold Instructions:

1)Insert the DV Camcorder / MGI Software CD into your CD-ROM Drive.

2)Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop, double-click your CD-ROM drive, then double-click on the DVCAM98 folder.

3)Run the SETUP.EXE program and follow the on-screen prompts. Once installation is completed, proceed to the next step.

5)Now connect your digital video camera. Before connecting the digital video camera, make sure it’s powered ON.

Some digital video cameras will not properly communicate with the PC if they’re not powered through the wall outlet.

6)Once the camera is connected, a dialog box should appear stating that Windows has found new hardware.

7)The Add New Hardware Wizard will now ask you how you’d like to locate the driver. Select the “Search for the best driver…” option.

8)Insert your Windows CD.

9)Select the “CD-ROM drive” option and click “Next.”

10)Windows may prompt you with the option to install the updated driver or search for a new one. Select the Install “The Updated Driver” option and click “Next.”

11)Windows will now confirm that you want to install the “1394 DV Camcorder.” Click “Next.”
