Installing the Drivers for a PC
Let’s start at the start. You’ll need a computer running
Microsoft
Windows XP
,
Microsoft Windows Vista
or
Microsoft Windows 7
.
If you don’t use one of these operating systems (90-odd-percent of
folks do, but if you’re one of the die-hard 10%) then you’ve got two
options.
Use a different computer. Ask a friend!
1.
Don’t use the software we supply. You can still access the video
2.
files on the
SportsCam
from almost any computer (even some
video game consoles - cool, huh?) and play them back with VLC
media player:
www.videolan.org/vlc
If you’re a
Microsoft Windows
user:
Insert the mini CD into your CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive.
•
If your computer doesn’t automatically run the software on the
•
disc (you’ll know if it does) locate and run the file on the CD
called
Autorun.exe
Click on the button labeled
•
Install Driver
Follow the prompts. You’ll be asked what file types you’d like
•
to decode using the included codec pack - if you don’t know
what any of this means (you’re not alone) just select the default
options.
Choose whether you want a Start Menu shortcut, a desktop
•
shortcut, both or neither.
When the process is finished, you’re done!
•
To access the other stuff on the CD, choose the Browse CD
•
button. This will let you access
SetTime.exe
and some supporting
documentation, as well as
MDPlayer.exe
as a stand-alone
application (to play back footage).
