The USB drivers are certified by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL).
Depending on your computer's Driver Signing Policy, Windows may refuse to install this
driver or may display a warning. See Section 1.2.4.2 for details.
1.2.4.2 Windows Driver Signing
The NovAtel USB drivers are digitally signed and officially supported on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows
Vista and Windows 7. They can also be installed on Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 but are not WHQL
certified in that application. Depending on how your computer is configured, Windows may ignore device drivers
that are not digitally signed, display a warning when it detects device drivers that are not digitally signed (the
default) or prevent you from installing device drivers without digital signatures.
To install NovAtel USB drivers, the computer's policy must be either Ignore or Warn.
To change the Driver Signing Policy on your computer:
1. Open System in the Control Panel.
2. Select the Hardware tab.
3. Click Driver Signing.
4. Select either Ignore or Warn in the File signature verification box.
5. Click OK to accept the new policy.
6. Click OK again to close the System Properties dialog.
7. Unplug the NovAtel receiver USB cable, plug it back in and follow the installation instructions described in
either the Firmware Updates and Model Upgrades section.
