- DVD Xpress device drivers
- DVD Movie Factory 3 SE for DVD Xpress
Many USB 2.0 upgrade cards ship with non-Microsoft, third party drivers. These drivers have many revisions and
may have compatibility issues with some USB 2.0 devices. In many cases the USB 2.0 driver you have may work
ne, but we cannot guarantee proper operation with third party USB 2.0 drivers. Contact your USB 2.0 add-in card
supplier for the latest versions of USB 2.0 drivers for Win98SE and WinME.
USB 1.1
We recommend using the USB 1.1 port on your motherboard or from a USB 1.1 add-in card. All USB 1.1 cards use
the Microsoft USB drivers. If you are using Win98SE or WinME we recommend using the USB 1.1 connection on
your PC for proper operation of DVD Xpress.
