It seems that some have had issues with driver installation on win xp. So, could someone clarify, do I run the CD first, then plug in the device?

To the best of my recollection I don't remember even having an installation CD for this item. It was a plug and play and is being used often. Hope this helps.

Yes, run the CD to install the driver first before ploughing in the device.

I never used the cd for the install on my XP machine. I just plugged the card in and let the OS install its own driver. Worked fine for me.

It did not work without installing drivers, however the CD with the drivers comes with the product.

Negative. Its plug and play. After I used it for weeks without issues, I saw there was a Windows update for it. So I installed that with rest of my Windows 7 updates. I use it for sport and racing games no installation or disc needed. Good luck

HI, I'm not sure where you'd find the driver. When I put it into Win 7 it just searched and found the driver when I plugged it in before I could even put the cd inI would suggest calling their tech support to see if the post it online

I have two of these. I have plugged them into three Windows 8.1 computers. All thee recognize the device and download the drivers automatically, but return the error "this device cannot start (code 10)." Thus, I am sad to say, No.I would note that both work just fine on the Windows 7 and Vista machines here.

When you insert it in a USB port, do you get a message indicating that the device is recognized and the device drivers loaded? If not, you probably need to find and download the system software for it. Or you might have received a mini-disk with the drivers on it. Windows Vista and later have the necessary software pre-installed to run it. XP requires drivers. Linux also has built in drivers.

Mine didn't come with an Installation CD. My OS is Windows XP Pro. It was just Plug and Play...literally. I'm very pleased with it though. I'd suggest this to anyone.

You may have to load the device driver from the disk that is included, although I did not have to with the two windows 7 computers I used it on. Both of those computers were connected to the internet and could just download the driver from the internet without using the disk.

The device comes with an installation disk, and you will need a computer with an OS of XP to Win7 to set up the device. The install will NOT work on a Win 8.x machine, but once the device is properly setup, the Win 8 machine readily installs the driver and uses the printer. (???) I used the device to replace an XP machine that I used as a print server - works like a charm.

I cannot answer this for sure but if your USB ports have always worked god and your running anything from Xp forward I would order it if it was me.

My package came with the CD & instruction sheet. If I remember, connect the device in the USB port, place the CD in the drive & run the setup program.

If you did a proper install, bring it up on the programs list. Otherwise, put the CD in a drive, click on the drive to start install.

For Win XP and Vista, drivers are online with website on mini CD. But drivers needed for Win 7 or 8, for me. My O/S is Win 7 pro 32 bit.

I'm sorry. Actually it probably won't work since you need to use the CD to install the driver. You might check with the manufacturers web site to see if you can download the drivers and software. I'll bet you could. But I would check it out first before buying.

You will need to install drivers for XP. Go to the website and find the correct driver. Once it is set up, the device works very well.

B. James - good question, maybe we can find the answer together: rfomeara@me.com. I am about to test the MS XP driver, if you send me an e-mail I will let you know the results.

If you are still using Windows XP, you will need to disable the windows drivers for this and install the drivers that come with it. I had much difficulty setting this device up with XP. Works much better with 7. Do not uninstall the Windows drivers. Only disable them. If you are still having issues or it is not working with Windows Vista or 7, I suggest you talk with the manufacturer and see if they can help.
