Installing Device Drivers and Application Software

setup. In some cases, you will need to install additional software to make use of all of the
features of the PlexWriter.

Windows 2000, or Windows Me, supplies a generic USB device driver that allows

anything else.
If you have Windows 98SE, you need to install a special USB driver. You'll find
this driver on the Plextor Setup Disc, or you can get it from the Plextor web site at
