Baffled by my ccd already

[canuck]

OK. Here I am again.

I recently picked up an MX7C, and it came with the serial to USB adaptor.

The cd with the drivers is supposed to be self loading, but it's clearly not...another option is to press setup.exe, but this is not there as an option.

Has anyone loaded this function before? I'm concerned I'm being really thick, and have the wrong disc! This one is blue with 3 thin silver circles, and is labelled USB 1.1 Serial Adaptor product driver...so it seems ok.

I thought the hard part of ccd imaging would be after I had got it installed!

Any ideas? Computers and I aren't that familiar, so I won't be insulted.

Thanks for any help.

Cannock, put the disk in the drive, click start, then my computer, look at the drives and where you can see the one with disk in it right click on it and press explore. This will then open the disc contents for you to see. If there is an .exe file in there then double click it. It may also say setup. Give that a go first.

Yep, tried that.

That was about as far as I originally got, none of the visible files say setup or exe.

Starlight Xpress make some software available online, but do they make their USB driver files available?

I had a look, but couldn't find them.

Thanks.

Could it be that the USB thing is not from Starlight Xpress? Maybe it has a name on it somewhere for clues.

Have a look here, I have read it roughly and towards the end advises you what to do to get the drivers going

also you can download some of the software via their links here, http://www.starlight-xpress.co.uk/Software/USB1software.htm

you will need the 4th one down (4th blue link) download it and run it before you put anything into your computers usb slots, win xp likes the software to be installed first then the kit.

THANK YOU!

I'll try it this weekend, and see how I get on.
