7.1 Driver installation
Before installing the 3B NETlab™ software, it is
important to install the USB driver:
• Connect 3B NETlog™ to the computer via the
USB cable.
The computer reports that it has detected a new
hardware. Subsequently, the window of the hard-
ware wizard opens:
• Insert the installation CD into the CD-ROM
drive of the computer.
Windows 2000:
• Select “Search for the best driver for your de-
vice”.
• Under search for driver files, select “CD-ROM
drives”. (If no driver can be found, select “Dis-
play other source locations”.)
Windows XP:
• Do not activate Windows Update.
• Select “Install software from specified loca-
tion”.
• Under “Browse”, specify the location of the
driver on the CD.
• A hardware message will state that the soft-
ware has failed to pass the Windows Logo Test.
You should nevertheless click “Proceed with in-
stallation”.
As an alternative, the folder containing the driver
file can be copied directly onto the computer from
the CD and can be installed from the hard disk.
