Installing VCP drivers for Windows XP
To install VCP drivers for a, FT232AM device under
Windows XP and XP SP1, follow the instructions below:
• If a device of the same type has been installed on your
machine before and the drivers that are about to be
installed are different from those installed already, the
original drivers need to be uninstalled.
• Download the latest available VCP drivers from the
FTDI website and unzip them to a location on your PC.
• If you are running Windows XP or Windows XP SP 1,
temporarily disconnect your PC from the Internet. This
can be done by either removing the network cable
from your PC or by disabling your network card by
going to the "Control Panel\Network and Dial-Up Con-
nections", right clicking on the appropriate connec-
tion and selecting "Disable" from the menu. The con-
nection can be re-enabled after the installation is com-
plete. This is not necessary under Windows XP
• SP 2 if configured to ask before connecting to Win-
dows Update. Windows XP SP 2 can have the settings
for Windows Update changed through "Control
Panel\System" then select the "Hardware" tab and
click "Windows Update".
• Connect the Corvus-eco to a spare USB port on your
PC. This will launch the Windows Found New Hard-
ware Wizard. If there is no available Internet connec-
tion or Windows XP.
SP 2 is configured to ask before connecting to Win-
dows Update, the screen below is shown. Select "No,
not this time" from the options available and then click
"Next" to proceed with the installation. If there is an
available Internet connection, Windows XP will silently
connect to the Windows Update website and install
any suitable driver it finds for the device in preference
to the driver manually selected.
