Chapter 3: Installing the Software for Windows XP

Scenario 2: Osprey Card(s) Physically

Installed, but Osprey Software not Installed

In this case you have two options:

• Option A: Run the Installation Program

(Recommended)

• Option B: Use the New Hardware Found

Wizard (Not Recommended)

Option A: Run the Installation Program

(Recommended)

When Windows XP is first started for the first

time after the Osprey card is installed, the

New Hardware Found wizard displays one or

more times. Cancel out of these wizards. After

Windows XP has finished starting, perform the

following steps.

To install the Osprey drivers:

1. Using Windows Explorer, locate and

access the CD-ROM drive containing

the Osprey Installation CD-ROM.

2. Navigate to the WINXP directory.
3. Double-click SETUP.EXE. The Osprey

Capture Driver window displays.

4. Click Next. The Software License

Agreement window displays.

5. Click Yes to accept the End User

Software Agreement. If you do not

wish to accept the agreement, click No

to terminate the installation routine.

The Information window displays.

6. Click Next. The Select Components

window displays.

7. Click the radio button to select the default

signal format. See Video Standard for

more information about signal formats.

8. Click Next. The Choose Destination

Location window displays.

9. If you wish to change the destination

location for the fi les, click Browse.

10. Click Next. The Start Copying

Files window displays.

11. Click Next. The Hardware

Installation window displays.

12. Click Continue Anyway. (This window

will only be displayed on drivers that

have not been WHQL Certifi ed; WHQL

Certifi ed drivers will skip this step). The

Hardware Installation window displays.

A product registration link is also

available on the Programs menu

or on the Osprey Video web site

(http://www.viewcast.com/).

When you start your computer

after physically installing the

Osprey hardware, the Found New

Hardware Wizard runs upon detecting new

hardware. The sequence of windows are

similar to that in Appendix H - Adding/

Moving Boards in Windows 2000 and XP.
