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.
