		Win98/2000/XP/ME KVASER hardware installation instructions (If you are going to re-install a broken installation or upgrade your  driver routines it's always best to uninstall the old/broken drivers and reinstall the new ones (click here)). Important note regarding KVASER Memorator installation If you want to install drivers for KVASER Memorator and already have other KVASER hardware (like LAPcan, USBcan or PCIcan) installed you first have to uninstall these devices and then re-install them with the drivers shipped on CD with the Memorator (or called 1_5.zip). (The reason for this is becuase this is the first step to the "non-conflicting drivers" which means that Vector products can coexist with KVASER products without any problems, these drivers are still a bit "beta" but we think they work just fine!). You find instructions how to uninstall KVASER devices by clicking here (do not download the drivers from our homepage, use the one sent with the Memorator becuase the Memorator drivers are yet not available on www.kvaser.com). In the near future this will be fixed to be done automaticly and until then some work has to be done by hand. 1. Uninstall drivers for LAPcan (run cleanup.exe and more, click here). 2. Uninstall drivers for USBcanII ( -- "" -- ). 3. Uninstall the drivers for other Kvaser HW if you got ( -- "" -- ). 4. Re-install drivers for LAPcan (from the driverpackage sent with Memorator, not the one available for download on the homepage). 5. Re-install drivers for Memorator ( -- "" -- ) 6. Re-install the rest of the HW ( -- "" -- ) First time installation installation instructions: 1. Unpack the CANlib driver if that is not already done (click here). 2. Insert your LAPcan I/II or USBdecive into the PCMCIA slot on your PC. If it is a PCIcan, shut off the compuer, insert the card at boot. In a few seconds you should receive the following dialog window. (If you DO NOT receive a  dialog within 1 minute click here). If you receive the "Found New Hardware Wizard" dialog (see below) -  just click the "Next" button.   3. In the following window (Install Hardware Device Drivers) just mark the "Search for suitable driver for my decive (recommended)", then click the "Next"-button. (If you have, earlier, installed  drivers for the HW (or even CANcardx from Vector) you should click "Display a list of the known drivers for this device so that I can choose a specific driver" otherwise Windows will take control and use other drivers... If you still have problems to make your LAPcan run then try the instructions "Upgrade a installation  of driver (Win98/2000/ME/XP" by clicking here", that sometimes fixes more or less odd problems). (Note: In this example a LAPcan card is being installed, therefore it says "KVASER LapCAN"). 4. In the following window (Install Hardware Device Drivers) just mark just "Specify a location" and then click the "Next"-button. 5. In the following window you are supposed to "Browse" to the directory where you earlier unpacked  your "CANlib" (see point 1 of this document) and then you click the "OK"-button. 6. The following dialog window is easy, just click "Next"-window and wait for the installation to proceed. 7. In the last dialog just click the "Finish" button and then verify that your KVASER hardware is working properly (click here). (If something went wrong don't hesitate to contact us (support@kvaser.se) with a problem report (as detailed as possible)).
