Installing the Software (PC Only)
The details of software installation vary depending on the PC and Operating System used.
These instructions are for a generic installation on a computer running Windows XP.
Install the software before connecting the CobraCam USB 2 to the computer.
Insert CobraCam USB 2 CD into the computer.
Use only with ‘tray’ type CD drives. Do not use with ‘slot’ type. Mini CD may jam slot type
drives. The computer may automatically start the Install shield Wizard, it may open a dialog
box showing the location of the ‘Super_Telescope.exe’ software, or it may do nothing.
If the Wizard starts, follow the instructions to install the software. If a dialog box opens
showing the Super_Telescope.exe file, left click (or double click) on ‘Super_Telescope.exe’
to start the Installshield Wizard and follow its instructions. If nothing happens when the
CD is inserted, use ‘My Computer’ or ‘Windows Explorer’ to find the file named ‘Super_Tele-
scope.exe’ on the CD. When Super_Telescope.exe is found, left click (or double click) on
‘Super_Telescope.exe’ to start the Installshield Wizard. Follow the Wizard’s instructions
to complete the first part of the software installation. A dialog box may appear with a
message about software compatibility (Windows Logo testing). If this message
appears, click ‘Continue Anyway’. Follow the Wizard’s instructions to complete this part of
the installation. The dialog box may disappear several times during the installation. Wait
until the box reappears and completes the installation. The last screen of the Wizard will
ask the user to click the Finish button. Click the Finish button and wait for the box to close.
