Installing the Layla Software Drivers
Now that you have completed the hardware installation, you need to install
the software drivers that allow Layla to interact properly with Windows
95/98 and your audio recording application.
Turn on the power to your computer’s CPU. After Windows 95/98 starts up,
it will automatically sense the newly installed Layla card and indicate, via a
pop-up Install Wizard window, that new hardware has been found. At this
point, you should insert the Layla CD-ROM disc.
If you are using the original Windows 95:
Within the Install Wizard window are several options. Select the option
Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer
. The computer
will now prompt you for the location of the driver files. These files are
located in the root directory of the Layla CD-ROM. Click the
Browse
button in the Install Wizard; this will cause the
“Install From Disk”
window to appear. In the field labeled
“Copy manufacturer’s files from:”,
enter the path
D:\
(depending on your system configuration, your CD-ROM
drive may use a letter other than “D”). Click on
OK
to complete the
installation. Now turn to page 22.
If you are using Windows 95 OSR2:
After you have inserted the Layla CD-ROM disc and clicked
next
, you’ll
see the message, “Windows found the following updated driver for this
device, Layla by Echo.” Click on the
Finish
button and Windows will
attempt to locate the drivers on a disk labeled “Echo Install Disk.”
Unfortunately, no such disk exists. So what you’ll see is a not-so-nice error
message marked with a big red X. Ignore Windows’ rude behavior and click
on the OK button. This will bring you to the
Copying Files . . .
window.
Within the window is a field labeled
Copy Files From:
into which you’ll
need to enter the path name for the Layla drivers. Type in the letter name of
your CD-ROM drive followed by :\ (for example,
D:\
). Click on
OK
, and
Windows will complete the driver installation routine. Now turn to page 22.
