3 Installation

3.1 

Uninstalling old drivers and devices

The most common cause of faults during installation is the presence of a driver for a
similar, old device. The best solution is to first remove all drivers related to old
devices before installing the new driver. Make sure you only delete programs for old,
unused (similar) devices.
1. 

Enter the Windows ‘Safe Mode’. (Press F8 when starting Windows before the
Windows start screen is displayed and select ‘Safe Mode’.)

2. 

Click on ‘Start – Settings – Control Panel’ and double-click on the
‘Add/Remove Programs’ icon.

3. 

Find all the programs for similar, old devices and remove these by clicking on
the ‘Add/Remove’ button. When in the ‘Safe Mode’, it is possible for some
programs to appear twice. In that case, remove all the programs which
appear twice.

4. 

Restart the computer.

3.2 

Installing the driver in Windows 98 / Windows ME /

Windows 2000 / Windows XP

Note:

The latest driver can be downloaded from www.trust.com/13017.
Check whether a new driver is available and use this for the
installation.

Note:

Make sure all other programs (except Windows) are closed
during the installation.

Note:

During installation in Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you may
receive a message saying that the driver has not been signed.
This does not cause a problem for the functionality. Continue
with the installation.

1. Start 

Windows.

2. 

Insert the CD-ROM containing the drivers and applications into your CD-ROM
drive.

3. 

The Trust Software Installer will start automatically (see figure 1). If it does
not start automatically, click on ‘Start – Run’, type [

D:\SETUP.EXE

] and click

on ‘OK’.

Note:

In the example, ‘D’ is used to indicate the CD-ROM drive. Check
which letter is used to indicate your CD-ROM drive.

4. 

Click on ‘TRUST 850F DRIVER 3.0’ to start the installation of the driver (see
figure 1).

5. 

The installation window will appear (see figure 2). Click on ‘Next’ and follow
the on-screen instructions.

6. 

Restart your system after the driver has been installed.

3.3 

Installing Microsoft DirectX 8.1

Note:

The latest version of DirectX can be downloaded from
www.microsoft.com/directx.

Note:

DirectX 8.1 is included as standard in Windows XP. You,
therefore, do not have to install this in Windows XP.
