When the driver installation is complete, the
final page of the Wizard appears. Click

to complete the Lecnet2 USB driver

installation.

Installation additional Venue Receivers (or Lecnet2
devices)

The Windows XP operating system regards all Lecnet2
devices as separate USB devices because each has a
unique serial number. Because of this, Windows XP will
want to install the USB driver every time it encounters a
Lecnet2 device whose serial number it does not recog-
nize. However, if the Lecnet2 USB driver has already
been installed at least once before on the computer
system, the process is simplified because the Lecnet2
installation disk is not required. Use the following
procedure if the LecNet2 USB driver was previously
installed on the computer system.

1.

On the first page of the Wizard, select "Install
the software automatically (Recommended)"
and click Next> to continue.

2.

Windows will discover the previously installed
driver and it is likely that a dialog will open
warning you that the driver has not passed
Windows Logo Testing. Click

Continue

Anyway

.

3.

When the driver installation is complete, the
final page of the Wizard appears. Click

Finish

. It is now possible to connect to the

Lecnet2 device.
