RIO Windows Windows 2000 WHQL Digitally Signed Serial Driver ============================================================ Introduction ------------ The RIO W2K Digitally Signed Serial Kernel Driver allows the RIO family of intelligent serial multiport adapters to appear as standard "COM" devices on a W2K system. Driver Upgrade/Installation Proceedure -------------------------------------- To upgrade drivers for installed devices run UPDATE.EXE from the same directory as your driver package. UPDATE.EXE will update all installed RIO devices with the drivers found in this package. Note: When new hardware is added Windows will try to find a driver for it. If a driver is not found for the new device, you are able to give the location of the driver you wish to use to the Found New Hardware Wizard. However if Windows does find a driver for the device already on the system, Windows will automatically install the most recent digitally signed driver it can find for your new hardware. If you wish to install a different driver (i.e. a more recent but unsigned driver) from the one installed for your device you will need to use UPDATE.EXE to update the devices.
