For Windows XP Embedded
As mvBlueFOX cameras will register as an 'imaging device' in the systems device manager please make
sure that your Windows XP Embedded (XPe) distribution is shipped/build with support for the corresponding
device class (
"Class GUID {6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f}" ) before installing
the mvBlueFOX device driver. Otherwise, an installing of the driver when connecting a camera will fail with an
error message like
"a required section in the INF file could not be found" . The camera will not be accessible
then.
The mvBlueFOX is a USB 2.0 compliant camera device and needs therefore a functioning USB 2.0 port. If you are
not sure about this, please follow these steps:
1. Press "Start" and click on "Run"
2. Enter
msinfo32
3. Click on "Components" and look after "USB"
4. If there is a entry like "USB 2.0 Root Hub" or "ROOT_HUB20" , your system has USB 2.0.
Please be sure that your system has at least one free USB port.
