PicPort driver installation notes for Windows 2000
****************************************************************
----------------------------------------------------------------
General notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
. Files needed to install the PicPort driver.
The following files must be present and located in the same
directory:
- LVPPX.SYS
- LVPPXW2K.INF
. Location of the PicPort INF file
- You can download from the Leutron Vision web site only the
updated INF file. Copy the downloaded files in a local
directory and give this path to the device manager when
prompted for driver update.
- You can install the LVSDS 1.91 version before actually install
the PicPort board.
The driver files are installed in:
<LVSDS>\DRIVERS\WIN2000
Specify this directory when prompted by the device manager for
driver installation or update.
- In the LVSDS CD
<CD_DRIVE>:\DRIVERS\WIN2000
----------------------------------------------------------------
First time installation
----------------------------------------------------------------
For first time installation of PicPort boards, the system will
ask on startup the driver for the newly found Multimedia device.
Enter the path to the LVPPXW2K.INF file.
The system does not require to be rebooted.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Upgrading from pre-1.91 LVSDS releases
----------------------------------------------------------------
If a PicPort board was already installed in the system using
pre-1.91 LVSDS, the system does not ask for new driver to be
installed, so the update must be forced manually.
LVSDS releases before 1.91 were installing a legacy kernel
mode driver for PicPort boards.
To fix problems with the ACPI HAL, the LVSDS release 1.91
provides a WDM driver for PicPort.
This changement makes the old INF file used to install
the pre-1.91 driver obsolete.
To update the PicPort INF file, due to the way Windows 2000
handles the device driver installation, the following steps should
be performed.
- Search in the WINNT\INF directory all the .inf files containing
the lines:
[Manufacturer]
%LvMfg%=Leutron
Usually, they are named OEMxx.INF, where xx is an ordinal number.
- Delete the found .INF file and the corresponding .PNF file with
the same name.
- Start the Device Manager, select the Leutron Vision PicPort device,
open the Properties dialog and click on Update Driver. Specify the
location of the new INF file for PicPort.
- Reboot the system.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
