Windows XP and Windows Vista System Driver Installation
The operating system notifies the new USB device was plugged in the
“Found new hardware bubble”. The system then opens the “Found New
Hardware” Wizard.

“Next” button.
2. Choose the “Install the software automatically” in the next step.
Insert the CD-ROM into the drive and the wizard will continue by

It is not necessary to install files from CD-ROM. It is possible to
copy the folder containing driver files e.g. to shared network
volume, USB Flash Disk etc. Then it is necessary to choose the
“Install from a list or specific location” and to define the path to
driver files.
3. The wizard starts to copy files. But Windows XP checks for driver
file digital signature. If it cannot find the signature, it notifies the
user by a message box. Click “Continue Anyway”, the digital
signature is only an administrative step and does not influence the
proper functionality.
4. The wizard then finishes the installation and the camera is ready to
work.

devices separately for each USB port. If you later connect G3 camera to

“Install automatically” option and Windows will reuse already installed
