Installing USB drivers in case of problems with Vista or Windows 7

For reasons known only to itself Windows sometimes does not like installing USB drivers but this procedure should sort it out.

• Do not plug in the simulator until you have installed the DryFire software from the CD. This is very important.
• After the software is installed you can plug in the simulator and Windows should ask for the driver location - which will be the "usb-drivers/vista" sub-folder under wherever you installed DryFire.
• If things do not work out please follow this procedure and see the screen grabs below:
  1. Ensure that the DryFire software is installed and the simulator is plugged in. (It will nod the camera head(s) if it is connected via USB and it has power.)
  2. Load Windows Control Panel (from the Windows Start button - bottom left of screen.)
  3. Click on "Device Manager" within the Control Panel - this will list all the devices on your computer.
  4. If the simulator is plugged in you should find "DryFire Simulator" listed under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" or under "Other Devices".
  5. Right click on "DryFire Simulator" and select "Update Driver Software".
  6. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software" in the window that pops up.
  7. In the next window click on "Browse" and locate the "usb-drivers/vista" sub-folder under wherever you installed DryFire.
  8. Click on "Next".
  9. Windows may display a warning message so click on "Install this driver anyway".
  10. Please wait while the driver is installed and you get a confirmation message.
  11. Close the various windows and run the DryFire software from the icon on your desktop.

Control Panel - click on "View by" and then "Large icons."

Control Panel - select "Device Manager."

Device Manager - check under "Other devices" and "Universal Serial Bus controllers."
Right click on "DryFire Simulator."
