'''1. Automatic driver installation'''<br />
The driver installation will not be launched automatically during setup. After installation of the StudioX software bundle Windows should install the correct drivers when the USB2SYS is plugged in the PC for the first time. Check the notifications in the right corner of your task bar:

'''2. Validate installation'''<br />
If the driver installation fails, you may see an error message with a red cross next to the device icon:

<br />
In this case you have to install the driver files manually which will be described in the following step 3.<br />
<br />

If you did not see any message popping up at all, check you Windows device manager if the USB2SYS has been installed correctly. To access the device manager under windows 7 type devmgmt.msc in the Startmenu's search bar. Alternatively you can enter the computer properties by pressing and holding the START key on the keyboard and addtionaly pressing the PAUSE key. Then click on device manager in the upper left corner of the appearing window.

<br />

The name COM3 may be different on your PC. This entry must disappear when you disconnect the USB2SYS-Interface from the PC and re-appear when you connect it again.<br />
If there is only an entry marked with an yellow "!" something went wrong and you have to install the driver files manually which will be described in the following step 3.

<br />

Your web browser will open and ask to save the file "CP210x_VCP_Windows.zip" or will save it automatically. Open the downloaded zip-file from the folder where it has been saved to and extract the content of the file to your harddisk (here we directly extract it to drive C:). Go to the extracted folder and start one of the included setup files (if you have a 64-bit Windows use the "CP210xVCPInstaller_x64.exe", if you have a 32-bit system use CP210xVCPInstaller_x86.exe).
