3.1. Installing the SpeedTouch™
Introduction This section will assist you in installing the SpeedTouch™ and preparing your PC for
your Internet connectivity.
Microsoft Windows • One of the following OSs must be readily installed on your PC:
• Microsoft Windows 98/98SE or Microsoft Windows ME
• Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP
You may need the Windows installation CD-rom during installation.
• For Windows98/98SE/ME:
• Pentium processor 166 MHz, or higher (or compatible)
• 32 Mega Byte (MB) of memory, or more.
• For Window2000/XP :
• Pentium II processor, or higher (or compatible)
• 64 MB of memory, or more.
• 30 MB of free disk space
• Microsoft Dial-Up Networking (default installed with the OS)
• A Web browser, e.g. Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, ... for surfing the
Internet.
Two installation
methods
As your SpeedTouch™ is a true Plug-and-Play device you can use two different installa-
tion procedures:
• The SpeedTouch Setup wizard (application) Installation
By inserting the SpeedTouch™ Installation CD-rom, a wizard automatically guides
you through all needed installation steps.
• The Plug-and-Play Compliant Installation
The installation procedure is initiated by connecting the SpeedTouch™ to your
PC's USB port.
It does not matter which method you use, both are equally valid.
In this section, the SpeedTouch Setup wizard (application) installation is fully described.
In case you experience problems with this installation, you can try the Plug-and-Play
compliant installation, shortly described at the end of this section.
Windows OS
differences
The installation procedures might be slightly different depending on the Microsoft
Windows OS you are using:
• Some windows will look differently
• On Windows 98/98SE no 'Digital Signature' window will pop up
• For Windows 98/98SE, at the end of the installation procedure, you may be asked
to enter an area code for Dial-up connections.
