3. Installing Crystal Audio Drivers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WINDOWS 95
1. Windows95 will detect the PCI Multimedia Audio device. Press the NEXT
button.
2. The driver for the Crystal SoundFusion (tm) PCI Audio will be requested
by the Operating System. Enter the drive letter assigned to your CDROM
or press the BROWSE button and search for the CDROM Drive or the
location of the driver files. Once the path has been provided, press
the FINISH button.
3. Again, Windows95 will request that you provide the Crystal
SoundFusion(tm) Disk. Press the OK button to continue, then
provide the path to the location of the driver files.
WINDOWS 98
1. Windows will detect the PCI Multimedia Audio Device and initiate the
Add New Hardware Wizard. Press the NEXT button to continue.
2. Select the 'Search for the best driver for your device' option and press
the NEXT button.
3. Select the CD-ROM drive (or the appropriate path to the location of
the driver files). Press the NEXT button.
4. The installation wizard will indicate that it is ready to install the
Crystal SoundFusion (tm) Audio driver. Press the NEXT button to
continue.
5. Press the FINISH button to complete the installation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Uninstalling or Updating Crystal Audio Drivers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. From the Windows START menu, run SETUP.EXE located in the Crystal
SoundFusion(tm) CD and select Install or Uninstall. This application
will do an automatic clean-up of the Windows 95 Crystal Audio registry
entries.
NOTE: Many problems with reinstallation occur because of existing
registry entries from previous installations and because of the
\WINDOWS\INF\OEMx.INF files. After running SETUP.EXE, the various
Crystal devices should not be listed in the Device Manager window.
2. Restart your system. If you want to remove or install any hardware,
select the SHUTDOWN option and turn off your PC.
3. Turn PC on. Upon loading, Windows 95 will detect new hardware, create
an information database, and proceed with the installation of Crystal
device drivers (as described in the previous section)
