If auto run is not working, open My Computer and click
on the CD drive folder (d: drive in most cases) and double-
click on the setup icon, then proceed as above.

NOTE: If you are reinstalling MultiLab after removing an
older version, the camera driver is already installed on your
system. In this case the installation program prompts you
to confirm the removal of the driver. Click Cancel to keep the
camera driver on your system.
NOTE: When you plug in the supplied Web camera for the
first time Windows will automatically detect the new device
and open the Found New Hardware Wizard. Follow the
on-screen instructions. When asked, select the Install software
automatically option (there is no need to insert the installation
CD). Windows will automatically detect and install the necessary
software.
Windows Media Encoder Component
If MultiLab fails to open properly, it is probably because one of
MultiLab’s components, Microsoft Windows Media Encoder, was
not successfully installed on your system during the normal
installation procedure. You must install it now.
To install Microsoft Windows Media Encoder:
1. Insert the CD labeled MultiLab into your CD-ROM drive.

MultiLab, Click No or Cancel.
