System Requirements
The following are the minimum required specifications for use with the Helix Board 12 Plus.
If your computer does not meet these requirements, you will experience lagging of audio and possible freezing of your computer when
attempting to operate the Helix Board.

• Microsoft® Windows® XP (with SP2 or SP3) or Microsoft® Windows® Vista
• Available USB 2.0 port
• Intel Pentium® 4 processor or equivalent AMD Athlon processor
• Motherboard with Intel or VIA chipset
• 5400 RPM or faster hard disk drive (7200 RPM or faster with 8 MB cache recommended)

Driver Installation
To use the Helix Board efficiently (or at all) on any computer, it is important to install all the necessary drivers from the included DVD.
We advise that users read all instructions carefully before continuing on to each step of the installation process, as they will be asked to
disconnect and reconnect their Helix Board.
Windows XP (with Service Pack 2 or higher)
1. It is recommended that you quit all applications before starting the installation process.
2. Connect the Helix Board to the computer, leaving the power of the unit off.
3. Insert the installation DVD included with your Helix Board into the DVD-ROM drive of your computer. If the DVD does not automatically
start the installation process within a few moments, then navigate to “My Computer” → your DVD-ROM drive → “HelixBoard12Plus_Driver”
→ double-click “setup.exe” to begin the installation manually. The Helix Board Control Panel software also will be installed at this time.
4. Follow the on-screen installation instructions, turning the Helix Board on when asked to ‘disconnect and reconnect’ the unit.
Make sure no other programs are running on your PC and click “Next”.
