1. Place the updated USB RS-232 Module driver disk into floppy drive "A"

2. Right Click on the My Computer Icon on the desktop and select 'Properties'

3. Select the Device Manager Tab.

4. Double Click on the Universal Serial Bus Controller device.

6. Select the Driver Tab.

7. Click on Update Driver, then click Next and follow the directions on the screen.
   From this point on, the update process is identical to the initial installation process.

   computer in order for the updated drivers to take effect.


Release information:
===================

Problem:        If after installing the Microsoft USB supplement (usbsupp.exe),  
                Windows plug & play does not auto detect the USB RS-232 Module.

Solution:	Try the following:

	1. 	Open the System Properties from the control panel and select the 
		Device Manager Tab. 
		Double Click on the  Universal Serial Bus Controller device. 
		Make sure that both the ROOT HUB and HOST Controller are listed.
		If only the HOST Controller is listed then remove it and reboot.

	2. 	Open the System Properties from the control panel and select the 
		Device Manager Tab.
		Check for a device labeled ?UNKNOWN.  
		Double Click on UNKNOWN and check for a HOST Controller or ROOT HUB
		If listed then remove them and reboot

	If, after rebooting, the Add Hardware Wizard finds the USB devices and 
	requires new drivers, such as uhcd.sys, the drivers are located in 
	the /windows/system directory.
