Installing the drivers

This page explains how to install the Apocalypse drivers from the CD-ROM using Windows Plug and Play.

Note that our recommendation is that you use the Apocalyse Installer to install the software, as it is quicker, easier, and more comprehensive than using Windows Plug and Play. However, if you prefer to use Windows Plug and Play, follow the instructions below.

1. When your computer has restarted, the Update Device Driver Wizard is displayed, saying that a PCI Multimedia Device has been detected, and asking whether you want Windows to search for the drivers. Click Cancel.
