DVStorm Windows Me Manual Device Driver Installation

Before you start this procedure you will want to know what folder contains the 
uncompressed driver files.  If you do not know this information, take a few 
minutes to locate it and have it handy (you will be needing it shortly).

If you do NOT want to use your DVStorm as a Video for Windows device OR to 
Capture directly to MPEG, then you may skip Step 2.  Otherwise follow all steps.

1. Uninstall your current version of the Canopus software.  Do this from the 
Add/Remove Programs window.  Also delete from the C:\WINDOWS\System32) folder, 
any files beginning with “STM”.  This will clear the older drivers from the 
system.

2. Now we will install the drivers for the DVStorm card.  Start by opening the 
Device Manager in Windows.  You can do this by right clicking on the My Computer 
icon then select Properties.  System Properties window comes up.  Select Device 
Manager tab.  

3. When the Device Manager is open double click on the Sound, Video, and Game 
Controllers icon.  You should see the DV Storm-RT listed.  If you do not see it 
there, it may be under Other Devices as a Multimedia controller.  Double click 
on the DV Storm-RT (or multimedia controller) to open the DV Storm-RT Properties 
window.

4. In the DV Storm-RT Properties window click on the Driver Tab, then on the 
Update Driver… button.

5. You will now see the first screen of the windows Update Device Driver Wizard.  
Under “What do you want the wizard to do?”  Select “Specify the location of the 
driver” and click Next button.  Select “Display a list of all the drivers in a 
specific location, so you can select the driver you want.”

6. Click the Next button and select Have Disk… button. Click on Browse button in 
the Install From Disk Windows that comes up.  In the Open windows, browse to the 
folder that you have uncompressed the drivers to and find the DVStorm-RT.INF 
file.  Double click on this DVStorm-RT.INF and the Install From Disk window will 
be back up.  Click OK and the “Select Device” window will be displayed.  Click 
Ok and Select Yes on “Update Driver Warning” windows.  

7. Click Next at the “Update Driver Wizard” then click on the "Finish" button.  
You will be prompted to restart the computer.  Click "Yes" to restart the 
computer.

8. Run the DVStorm Software setup.  Double click on the SETUP.exe file from the 
DVStorm folder on the CD or located in the folder that you extracted the 
downloaded file into earlier.  Once this install is complete you will be asked 
to restart your computer again. 

9. Access the folder that you extracted the Media Cruise software to.  Open the 
Media Cruise folder by double clicking on it. Run the SETUP.exe file within that 
folder.  Follow the onscreen instructions and reboot the computer if instructed 
to do so.

The next section is for customers who need to install the the Storm Encoder 
software.  If you are not using the Storm Hardware encoder please disregard this 
next portion of the install.  For this you will need to have the 1.02 or later 
version of the Storm encoder software.  Download and extract the software 
(remember where this folder is).

10. Access the folder that you extracted the Storm encoder software to.  Open 
the Storm Encoder folder by double clicking on it. Run the SETUP.exe file 
within.  Follow the onscreen instructions.  At some point you will be asked 
which components you would like to install. Make sure the box for “media cruise 
plugins” is checked off.  Restart the computer when told to do so.

The installation of your DVStorm is now complete.  Enjoy.
