user with administrative privileges, such as Administrator.

You are asked for the driver file even though you installed the driver

• Did you connect the MA-1EX to a different USB connector than the one you used when installing

the driver?

If your computer or USB hub has two or more USB connectors, and you connect the MA-1EX to a USB
connector to which you have not previously connected it, this dialog box may appear even though you

OS becomes unstable

• Starting up a computer when the MA-1EX is already connected may cause the computer to become

cause operation to become unstable. In this case, start up the computer with the MA-1EX disconnected,
and then connect the MA-1EX.
