Installation under Windows 2000, XP and Vista
We advise you to ensure the operating system is up-to-date before starting the installation. This can be easily checked by starting up Internet Explorer
and selecting the option “Windows Update” in the “Extra” menu.
No drivers are required for installation under Windows 2000 and Windows XP; they are all incorporated in the operating system and the Sweex 2
Port USB 2.0 & 2 Port FireWire PC Card will be installed automatically.
If you do not have the possibility of updating Windows, a separate VIA USB 2.0 driver must be installed in order to use the USB 2.0 feature. It can
be found in the Sweex autorun menu (starts automatically after inserting the CD-ROM) under the “VIA USB 2.0 Driver” button.
Should the CD-ROM not start automatically, or if it is already in the CD-ROM player, the CD-ROM can be started by double-clicking the small CD-ROM
icon titled Sweex in “My Computer”.
