Note About Windows Logo Testing
When you install the Tracker Pre USB 2.0 drivers, you will see a dialog box
informing you either that the driver has not been certified by Windows Hardware
Quality Labs (WHQL), or that the driver is signed by Creative Labs, Inc., and you
will be asked if you would like to continue with the installation.
The Tracker Pre USB 2.0 audio drivers are not certified by WHQL because the
driver does not support some of the features that the Microsoft Windows Logo
Program requires, most notably Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) and Digital
Rights Management (DRM).
Despite this, the Tracker Pre USB 2.0 audio drivers have been rigorously tested
using the same test procedures that a WHQL qualified driver requires, and it passes
in all of the other important categories, including those that measure the relative
stability of the driver. So, it is perfectly safe to install these drivers on your
computer.
Uninstalling all Audio Drivers and Applications
At times you may need to uninstall or reinstall the Tracker Pre USB 2.0 application
and device drivers to correct problems, change configurations, or upgrade
outdated drivers or applications. Before you begin, close the E-MU Audio control
application. Applications running during the uninstallation will not be removed.
1. Click Start -> Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
3. Click the Install/Uninstall tab (or Change or Remove Programs button).
