Installing USB Drivers

APPENDIX A

Installing USB VCP Drivers

To install the VCP drivers for the processor under Windows XP and XP SP1, follow the instructions

below:

If a device of the same type has been installed on your machine before and the drivers that are about

to be installed are different from those installed already, the original drivers need to be uninstalled.

Download the latest available VCP drivers from the www.audio-processor.com website and unzip

them to a location on your PC.

If you are running Windows XP or Windows XP SP 1, temporarily disconnect your PC from the

Internet. This can be done by either removing the network cable from your PC or by disabling your

network card by going to the “Control Panel\Network and Dial-Up Connections”, rightclicking on the

appropriate connection and selecting “Disable” from the menu. The connection can be re-enabled

after the installation is complete. This is not necessary under Windows XP SP 2 if configured to ask

before connecting to Windows Update. Windows XP SP 2 can have the settings for Windows Update

changed through “Control Panel\System” then select the “Hardware” tab and click “Windows Update”.

Connect the device to a spare USB port on your PC. This will launch the Windows Found New

Hardware Wizard. If there is no available Internet connection or Windows XP SP 2 is configured to

ask before connecting to Windows Update, the screen below is shown. Select “No, not this time” from

the options available and then click “Next” to proceed with the installation. If there is an available

Internet connection, Windows XP will silently connect to the Windows Update website and install any

suitable driver it finds for the device in preference to the driver manually selected.
