encountered when using the ADC1000-USB:
Troubleshooting Device Driver Installation
Issue:
After connecting the ADC1000-USB to the PC, the Add New Hardware Wizard does not locate a
device driver for the ADC1000-USB. Ultimately, a message appears stating that Windows has
not installed a device driver.
Probable Cause:
You connected the ADC1000-USB to the PC prior to completing the OOIBase32 software
installation. The ADC1000-USB driver is installed as part of the OOIBase32 package. If you
connect the device to the computer prior to installing OOIBase32, no device driver will be
available for the ADC1000-USB.
Resolution:
Follow the applicable steps below to remove the incorrectly installed device, device driver, and
installation files.
Note
: If these procedures do not correct your device driver problem, you will need to obtain the
“Correcting Device Driver Issues” document from the document library located at
