Installing the Drivers for a PC

Let's start at the start. You'll need a computer running Microsoft
Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Vista or Microsoft Windows 7.
If you don't use one of these operating systems (90-odd-percent of
folks do, but if you're one of the die-hard 10%) then you've got two
options.
1.
Use a different computer. Ask a friend!
2.
Don't use the software we supply. You can still access the video
files on the SportsCam from almost any computer (even some
video game consoles - cool, huh?) and play them back with VLC
media player:
If you're a Microsoft Windows user:
Insert the mini CD into your CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive.
If your computer doesn't automatically run the software on the
disc (you'll know if it does) locate and run the file on the CD
called Autorun.exe
Click on the button labeled
Follow the prompts. You'll be asked what file types you'd like
to decode using the included codec pack - if you don't know
what any of this means (you're not alone) just select the default
options.
Choose whether you want a Start Menu shortcut, a desktop
shortcut, both or neither.
When the process is finished, you're done!
To access the other stuff on the CD, choose the Browse CD
button. This will let you access SetTime.exe and some supporting
documentation, as well as MDPlayer.exe as a stand-alone
application (to play back footage).
