7 Updating or Uninstalling your Shuttle device Software
Periodically, Contour provides new software updates on the website for downloading. We
encourage you to stay current with your software to avoid incompatibilities with applications
and setting features. Shuttle Device software is available at: http://www.contourdesign.com
.
7.1 Updating from version 1.x
You will have to uninstall version 1.x before installing the new version (2.0 or later).
When uninstalling version 1.x, all settings within the Control Panel will be lost.
Factory settings will be restored by version 2.x.
It is strongly recommended that before uninstalling the software
, you export any application
settings that you have created or modified from Factory settings (or write down all parameters
for each setting that you wish to keep and use later on). You will have to import saved
application settings or reprogram all custom application settings into the newly installed version.
To export settings:
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Click on the Target Application Menu and select the application setting you would like to
export.
3. Click on the Target Application Functions Menu. The setting you selected should be
highlighted. Select Export Settings from the pull-down menu.
4. A dialog box will prompt you to type a name for the file that will be created and to choose
its destination folder. Once you have done so, click on Save in the lower right hand of the
dialog box. The created file will have the .pref extension and will be located where specified.
5. Repeat steps 2,3 and 4 for each setting you would like to export.
6. Close the Control Panel.
To uninstall version 1.x:
1. Click on the Start Menu in the lower left corner of your screen.
2. Select Programs and then Contour from the submenu.
3. In the Contour submenu click on the uninstaller.
4. A dialog box will prompt you to uninstall, click Yes.
5. A dialog box will now prompt you stating that the software has been removed. Click Close
and exit the uninstall program.
7.2 Updating from version 2.x
Uninstalling the existing version is not necessary when updating a software version later than
2.0. Simply install the update above the existing version.
If the new Applications Settings list contains new Factory settings with respects to the Factory
settings existing in your Applications Settings list, those settings will be added or updated.
Customized and user-made settings will be left untouched.
