However, a generic driver does not allow you to utilize the
readers advanced features and functions.

Start > Settings > Control Panel. Click System.
2. From the System Properties dialog, select the Hardware
tab and click Device Manager. Expand the Smart Card
readers option to ensure that OMNIKEY 5x21 is found.
Proceed to the Diagnostic Tool section for testing the
installation.
