Ensure that ‘Check for drivers automatically’ is selected and reconnect your SPC
device to a spare USB port. If the PC is connected to the web, the drivers will

If no web connection is available the drivers can be loaded manually as follows:
Ensure that your SPC Device is connected to the PC
Ensure the CD Minidisk supplied with your SPC device is installed in the CD drive of your
PC
Click the start button and select control panel and click the device manager icon (you

warning triangle showing, which may be identified as ‘SPC Pro’. Click on the yellow
triangle, and click ‘Update Driver’
Select the option which allows the driver to be installed from a location on the PC
(not the automatic search).
Browse to the CD location [DRIVE]:\V.*.**.**\SPC----Drivers\ and click ‘next’.
Please note: if you have downloaded the drivers from the web, you will need to
browse to the location that you saved them to.
Click install, and exit when complete. Note: It may be necessary to load a second
driver for the COM port. If the Device Manager list shows a second yellow triangle,
click on this and repeat the above procedure

To check if automatic drivers loading is enabled click the start button and
select ‘control panel’ and click the ‘system’ icon. Select the hardware tab
and click the ‘Windows Update’ button to display the following screen
