MP3 or MP4 (AAC) files in your sessions. Quick-
Time for Windows XP is available as a free
download from the Apple Web site (www.ap-
ple.com).

Time page.

Download the QuickTime installer applica-
tion to your computer.

Double-click the QuickTime installer applica-
tion and follow the on-screen installation in-
structions.

Restart your computer.
Mbox 2 may not function properly if con-
nected to a USB hub. If you need to use a
hub for other USB peripherals, connect the
hub to a separate USB port; Mbox 2 must
have a dedicated port in order to function
properly.
If you get a warning dialog about the driver
not passing Windows Logo testing, click
Continue Anyway.
If the USB LED on the front panel of the
Mbox 2 does not illuminate after installa-
tion, try unplugging the USB cable from the
Mbox 2 USB port, and plugging it back in.
If the USB LED still does not illuminate,
shut down the computer, disconnect
Mbox 2 and start the computer. Once the
computer has fully restarted, reconnect
Mbox 2.
