Installing the display driver and switcher language compiler
Initial steps for the installation
Please note:
If using for the installation a USB mouse connected to a USB connector (no usage of
the PS/2 adapter), the mouse must be operable before logging in to the system. Therefore check,
whether the mouse pointer can be moved on the login screen. If it cannot be moved, wait for
about 30 seconds and try again. If you log in before the mouse is operable the mouse support will
be temporarily disabled during the installation of the display drivers!

devices. Therefore the
Found New Hardware Wizard
comes up to install the suitable
drivers. But first check the availability of the appropriate installation files. On the hard disk of the P
ROCESSOR
the
files of the latest release of the display driver suite are stored:
c:\BARCO\TransForm A Suite\Windows Driver Suite (OVS-2686)\
ª
Windows Driver Suite X.X
Whenever the installation of a different release is required, e.g. if the latest release of the Wall Management
Software A
POLLO
requires an earlier release of the display driver suite, the respective folder
Windows Driver
Suite X.Y
should be copied from CD
TransForm A Suite CRS-3045-C
to the folder
c:\BARCO\TransForm A Suite\Windows Driver Suite (OVS-2686)
The Found New Hardware Wizard
The Found New Hardware Wizard comes up several times to install newly detected Barco components. The de-
tected hardware differs for a Processor or an OmniBus configuration. In an OmniBus configuration the driver for
the OmniBus comprises the control for the Barco expansion cards. In a Processor configuration these drivers have
to be installed for each device. The table below shows depending on the configuration how often the Found New
Hardware Wizard appears and how it names the detected devices:

With a Processor configuration take special care for the name used of the wizard.
Depending on this name the correct driver file has to be selected.
