4.1.2 Install in Windows 7

Windows 7 looks diﬀerent when installing drivers. It seems it is very diﬀerent from the other

Plug & Play enabled versions. But this is a deception.

When detecting new hardware Windows ﬁrst visits the website of Windows Update to ﬁnd a suitable

driver, which shall be installed. If none is found, Windows searches the local system for the required

driver, and loads it. If also there is none, this would be the time to pop-up the “Add New Hardware

Wizard”, so the user can supply a driver. And this step does not happen in Windows 7, the Wizard

does not appear

Instead Microsoft decided to have the user run an installation program for the hardware. This

software will install all the driver ﬁles to the system, and then initiates a hardware detection

process. This installation program in version 3.3.0.15 is available for all cards.

The following assumes the card is already installed in a slot.

1. Start the installation program. On the CD-ROM this is named vscompci.exe, and vscomp-

cix64.exe for the x64 Edition of Windows 7. For download from download it is available as

a self-extracting ﬁle, which detects the system automatically. This is the program, click on

“Install”.

It is still available using some tricks
