Installing the Touch Screen Driver Software
If your iPC is ordered with a touchscreen and an operating system the drivers will be pre-installed.
The iPC-Series utilizes a USB connection for the touchscreen, therefore the touchscreen will only function with
operating systems that can recognize and utilize USB connections. The driver included with these units
functions with Windows 2000, XP, VISTA, and Windows 7. If using the nPC300 with a touchscreen monitor
the appropriate driver will be included with the monitor.
Operating System Recovery
If for some reason your operating system needs to be reinstalled Nematron provides an Operating
System or Recovery disk. The procedure for this is dependent on the operating system. Because this series
does not have an integrated DVD you will need a USB DVD-ROM drive. In some cases you will also need the
“Documentation and Driver” disk that is included with each unit.
The iPC-Series products are shipped with Windows XP Professional SP3, Windows 7 Professional 32-
bit, or Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bi. The units can also be ordered with No Operating Systems installed. Use of
other operating systems is not recommended and not supported.
Windows XP Professional SP3 for Embedded Systems
Standard Windows XP operating system disks are no longer available from Microsoft. In order to
continue shipping Windows XP for Automation applications, Nematron had to switch to a different license
scheme, Windows XP Professional SP3 for Embedded Systems. This is not Embedded XP it is simply a
different license procedure. By switching to this license Nematron had to create a system recovery disk. This
disk is very specific to the platform and options that are included on your unit. Do not attempt to use a
recovery from one type of unit on another, it may not work. This recovery disk installs the factory image with
all drivers installed. On these units you will need an USB DVD-ROM. Follow the instructions on the recovery
DVD for installation. When installing the image from this DVD it wil
l not be “Activated”, unlike when you
received the unit. You may need to set the video resolution after loading the image depending on the unit you
are loading.
Windows 7 Professional (32-bit) and Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)
Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate are also supplied with a recovery disk as is done with Windows
XP (see XP section above). This recovery disk installs the factory image with all drivers installed. On these
units you will need an USB DVD-ROM. Follow the instructions on the recovery DVD for installation. When
installing the image from this DVD it will not be “Activated”, unlike when you received the unit. You may need
to set the video resolution after loading the image depending on the unit you are loading.
