 If the “Welcome” Dialog Box Is Not Displayed

In certain computing environments, you may find that the “Welcome” 
dialog box does not appear in the display.

Case 1

may appear instead of the 

Welcome

 dialog box.

In this case, select 

Yes, I want to restart my computer now.

 and click 

OK

.

After restarting your computer, perform the entire installation procedure over 
again from Step 1.

Case 2

If the 

U-8 Driver Not Found

 dialog box is displayed instead of the 

Welcome

 

dialog box, you will first need to install the U-8 Driver, by following the 
procedure on p. 20.

If the 

Welcome

 dialog box still does not appear, even with the driver 

installed, then the driver was not installed correctly. Carry out the following 
steps to reinstall the driver.

Following the procedure on p. 67 and p. 69, delete the U-8 Driver and 
unneeded drivers installed with the U-8 connection.
