Installing Windows XP Driver Software
Installation of the MIport driver software on Windows XP is a three-step process:
1. Windows XP searches and identifies new hardware that has been installed.
2. You use the Found New Hardware Wizard to install the driver software for the
card.
3. You use the Found New Hardware Wizard to install the software for each port
on the card.
There are several possible methods for installing the software. The procedure outlined
here is recommended for most situations.
Note: If at some point in the future, you want to update these drivers,
remove the old drivers before installing the new version. Refer to
Chapter 6 for driver removal procedures.
