A driver is required for the NT and '95 operating systems. If you are running
the XVL library installation program now a dialog will appear for you to
provide information about the boards you have. If you have previously
installed a Dipix Power Grabber driver (of same or older version), the
information you provided before will be shown as a default.
See also the special sections below for:
- ISA Bus Power Grabbers
- Windows '95 users
If you need further information about our drivers then check the
following files. The appropriate one for your computer will be
displayed in your text editor shortly:
For Windows NT:
%DIPXPG%/PC/DRIVERS/NT/NTDRIVER.TXT
For Windows 95:
%DIPXPG%/PC/DRIVERS/W95/INSTAL95.TXT
ISA BUS Power Grabbers ONLY
===========================
PCI boards are automatically detected however you must provide information
about any ISA bus Power Grabbers you may have. Ensure that the Interupt (IRQ)
values here match the jumper settings on your card.
You may also have to enter your system BIOS and indicate that any IRQ you
are using for the ISA bus devices is reserved so that the BIOS does not assign
it for a PCI device.
If you need to re-configure any ISA bus Power Grabbers then you
will need to run this program again. It can be found in
%DIPXPG%/PC/DRIVERS/SETUPDPG/SETUPDPG.EXE.
WINDOWS '95 USERS ONLY
======================
The operating system will prompt you at some point to insert a floppy
disk containing the Windows '95 driver for the Power Grabber. If you
have a floppy disk with the current driver on it you can use it.
Alternately you can specify either of these locations to find the
required driver:
From the XVL CDROM:
[CDROM drive letter]:/XVL320/PC/DRIVERS/W95
Or from your hard disk after the XVL software has been installed on your disk:
%DIPXPG%/PC/DRIVERS/W95
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.
