Service Pack Requirements for Microsoft Windows

®

XP

This product will work with Windows XP installations that have been

updated to SERVICE PACK 3 (also

known simply as “SP3”).

If you already have Windows

XP Service Pack 3 installed you may skip this section and go on to next page

“Installing the Windows

®

XP driver”.

To check service pack updates, click on start button, click on “RUN” then type “winver” in the “OPEN” box.

Click “OK”. A dialogue box similar to the one

below

indicates service pack 3 is indeed installed by the line

stating “Version 5.1 (Build 2600,xp

sp_3

_gdr.101209-1647:

)”

If service pack 3 is not installed please use the Microsoft Updates feature, website, or consult your computer
dealer.

Please note that, at time of writing, it is absolutely vital you have Service Pack 2 installed

before

attempting to install service pack 3!
