Installing the Gina Software Drivers
Now that you have completed the hardware installation, you need to install
the software drivers that allow Gina to interact properly with Windows
95/98 and your audio recording application.
Turn on the power to your computer’s CPU.
Caution: Lower the volume on
your outboard mixer prior to rebooting. The Gina hardware can produce
a loud pop when power is first applied to the computer.
After Windows
95/98 starts up, it will automatically sense the newly installed Gina card and
indicate, via a pop-up Install Wizard window, that new hardware has been
found. At this point, you should insert the Gina CD-ROM disc.
If you are using original Windows 95:
Within the Install Wizard window are several options. Select the option
Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer
. The computer
will now prompt you for the location of the driver files. These files are
located in the root directory of the Gina CD-ROM. Click the
Browse
button
in the Install Wizard; this will cause the
“Install From Disk”
window to
appear. In the field labeled
“Copy manufacturer’s files from:”,
enter the
path
D:\
(depending on your system configuration, your CD-ROM drive
may use a letter other than “D”). Click on
OK
to complete the installation.
Now turn to page 16.
If you are using Windows 95 OSR2:
After you have inserted the Gina CD-ROM disc and clicked
Next
, you’ll see
the message, “Windows found the following updated driver for this device,
Gina by Echo.” Click on the
Finish
button and Windows will attempt to
locate the drivers on a disk labeled “Echo Install Disk.” Unfortunately, no
such disk exists. So what you’ll see is a not-so-nice error message marked
with a big red X. Ignore Windows’ rude behavior and click on the OK
button. This will bring you to the
Copying Files . . .
window. Within the
window is a field labeled
Copy Files From:
into which you’ll need to enter
the path name for the Gina drivers. Type in the letter name of your CD-
ROM drive followed by :\ (for example,
D:\
). Click on
OK
, and Windows
will complete the driver installation routine. Now turn to page 16.
