To expedite software installation, please have the following items available:
• USBCam2 Driver CD
• USBCam2
• USB 2.0 type A-B Cable (not supplied, but should not exceed a maximum
length of 5 meters (5.5 yards) to comply with EMC and EMI standards)
3.2. Before You Start Installing Software
IMPORTANT! CDR users please do not connect the USBCam2 and cable to your
computer until after you have installed the device driver and updated the DirectX files on
your system. Procedures for installing these files can be found in this section.
The software for your USBCam2 consists of the following components:
• USBCam2 Device Driver Installation
• DirectX Update
You must install each of these components successfully to ensure proper operation of your
USBCam2. Actual installation differs slightly between operating systems (Windows 2000
and Windows XP), so you should follow the procedures that refer to your particular
system. (Procedures can be found in this section.) If you're not sure which operating
system is installed on your computer, right click on the My Computer icon on your
desktop and select Properties.
