Installing the Device Drivers and the MPEG-2 File Player Application
The Stradis MPEG-2 File Player Application (SMPEGDEC.EXE) is provided for
testing and evaluation purposes only. If your Stradis decoder is part of a third-
party system, follow the installation instructions provided by your system provider.
DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Doing so may render the third-party
software inoperative.
For Windows NT 4.0:
1.
It is strongly recommended for correct installation of the hardware and associated
driver, that you reboot the computer and run no other program before using the
setup program.
2. Run
setup
from the Installation CD.
3.
Enter the install password when prompted. The password is case-sensitive.
Note: The password is printed on the CD.
4.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
5.
Reboot the computer.
6.
Proceed to “Using the MPEG-2 Decoder Application for Windows.”
For Windows 98:
1.
It is strongly recommended for correct installation of the hardware and associated
driver, that you reboot the computer and run no other program before using the
setup program.
2. Run
setup
from the Installation CD.
3.
Enter the install password when prompted. The password is case-sensitive.
Note: The password is printed on the CD.
4.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
5.
If you are installing this software release on a system that had a Stradis device
driver version 0.95 or earlier installed, the installation program will ask you to
manually remove it using Device Manager. To access Device Manager right click
on My Computer, go down the context menu to Properties, and then select the
Device Manager tab. Expand the “Sound and Video Controller” section, select
“Stradis Professional MPEG-2 Decoder,” and click Remove.
Note: If you are asked by the installation software to remove an old driver, it
is very important that you do so before rebooting. Not doing so could cause
the installation to become confused and will require manually removing a
number of files.
6.
Reboot the computer. Windows “Plug and Play” will now load the drivers
automatically.
7.
Proceed to “Using the MPEG-2 Decoder Application for Windows.”
