If an existing computer running a ProteomeWorks Plus Spot Cutter is to be upgraded to PDQuest
version 7.0 or higher, only the new version of PDQuest needs to be loaded. This will overwrite the
existing version of PDQuest, but the existing camera driver will work with PDQuest 7.0 and higher.
There is no need to load the camera driver that exists on the install disk with PDQuest 7.0 or
higher.
If you have one of the following cases:
•
An older PVCAM driver needs to be uninstalled, and the new driver re-installed.
•
Communication error with the camera after new install (error code 33 is the usual
communication error).
•
The PCI card was installed before the camera driver software in a new installation.
Then, UNINSTALL the old driver and PCI card completely from the system before reinstalling the
new PVCAM software. Follow the steps below to ensure a clean reinstallation.
•
Shut down the computer
•
Remove PCI card from the slot and reboot computer.
•
Use the Windows "Add/Remove Programs" feature (Start\Settings\Control Panel) to
uninstall the Roper Scientific HCK. Say "Yes" to delete all files.
•
The "Add/Remove Programs" feature will not remove all files. You need to also manually
remove the following files. Use the Windows "Search/Find" feature (Start\Find\Files or
Folders) to locate the files. Search the entire computer. If you find any of the following files,
delete them before installing PVCAM 2.5.8.
