7.3 Windows 2000/XP
After the hardware has been installed correctly (see 6. Hardware Installation), and the computer
has been switched on, Windows will recognize the new hardware component and start its
‘Hardware Wizard’. Insert the RME Driver CD into your CD-ROM drive, and follow further in-
structions which appear on your computer screen. The driver files are located in the directory
\DIGI96 W2k
on the RME Driver CD.
Windows will install the DIGI96 driver, and will register the card in the system as a new audio
device. The card now ready for use.
All cards of the DIGI96 series can be easily configured using the RME DIGI Settings dialog.
The panel 'Settings' can be opened
•
by clicking on the DIGI icon in the Taskbar's system tray
In case the warning messages 'Digital signature not found', 'Do not install driver', 'not certified
driver' or similar come up: Don't listen to Microsoft, listen to us and continue with the installati-
on.
7.4 Deinstalling the Drivers
A deinstallation of the DIGI96 series driver files is not necessary – and not supported by Win-
dows anyway. Thanks to full Plug & Play support, the driver files will not be loaded after the
hardware has been removed. If desired these files can then be deleted manually.
Unfortunately Windows Plug & Play methods do not cover the additional autorun entries of the
Settings dialog, and the registering of the ASIO driver. Those entries can be removed from the
registry through a software deinstallation request. This request can be found (like all deinstalla-
tion entries) in
Control Panel, Software
. Click on the entry 'DIGI96 Link and Tray Autostart', or
'RME DIGI32, DIGI96 and Hammerfall Series'.
