Note: In some instances, on older model computer systems, Diagnostic Instruments
has found that SPOT users with the
Windows 2000
operating system will get a
No response from camera…
message when trying to either capture an image
or view a live image. This is due to incorrect BIOS settings. For information on
correcting this problem, refer to
Appendix D: Selected Error Messages
.
Windows Installation
1. Ensure that all other application programs are closed. Windows 2000 and XP users should
also ensure that they are logged on with administrator privileges.

Setup window appears.

Next
at the Readme Information window. The
User Information
window appears.
Enter your name and company name.
4. Click on
Next
. The
Choose Destination Location
window appears. Either press the
Browse button to specify the destination directory, or click on Next to accept the default
directory,
C:\SpotCam
.
5. The
Select Program Folder
window appears. Click on
Next
. The Start Copying Files
window displays the settings that you selected. Either click on Next to accept the settings, or

program prompts you with the message

support.

experienced user, or you are a new user who wants to explore
the broad range of functionality and choices offered by the
program.

wants to immediately begin taking high quality pictures without
having to make a lot of processing decisions.
To replace a shortcut that was deleted from the desktop, follow these steps:
a) Right click on the desktop.
b) Select
New > Shortcut
