Windows ME installation for the M-Audio MobilePre USB

Make sure the MobilePre USB is NOT connected to the computer and no application is open before beginning the installation!

Microsoft’s DirectX 8.1 needs to be installed on your Computer before beginning the driver installation for the M-Audio MobilePre USB. To determine the DirectX version installed on your computer, please click on “Start”, select “Run”, type “dxdiag” and click “OK”. Your DirectX Version is shown on this screen along with some additional information about your computer. If the DirectX Version is lower than 8.1, please go to www.microsoft.com and download/install DirectX 8.1 before continuing the driver installation.

1) Insert the M-Audio Driver CD into your CD ROM drive.

2) Double-click “My Computer” on your Computer’s desktop.

3) Double-click the CD ROM Icon (M Audio Drivers) and navigate to the “USB Audio \ MobilePre” folder.

4) Double-click on “MobilePre_1006_CD.exe” to run the M-Audio MobilePre Setup program.

5) This wizard will guide you through the installation process. CAREFULLY READ the displayed instructions – click the “Next” button for each screen once you have read and understood the instructions.

6) Select if you want to “Enable digital CD audio for CD/DVD drives” and “Enable DMA transfer mode for CD/DVD drives”. The checkboxes need to be checked if you want play Audio CDs from your computer’s CD-ROM drive using the MobilePre USB. Click “Next”.

7) When prompted, connect the MobilePre USB to your computer’s USB port.

8) (*) Windows will recognize the MobilePre USB and automatically copy the driver files to the right locations. Even if it might look like the computer has finished this task, please wait at least 2 minutes before you continue, since it might still copy files in the background – invisible to you. (More information on this at the end of this guide). Once you’re sure it’s done, click “Next”.

9) Unless you chose to modify the settings for your CD-ROM/DVD drive in Step 6 of this guide, you can click “Finish” to start using the MobilePre USB. If you did modify the settings, you will be asked to restart the computer. Click “Finish” and your computer will restart automatically and the MobilePre USB will be ready to be used once the Computer is started up again.

(*) Depending on what has been previously installed on your computer, you might get a message that looks something like this:

——Version Conflict: A file being copied is older than the file currently on your computer. It is recommended that you keep your existing file.

——File name: ksuser.dll, stream.sys, (possibly some additional filenames)

——Description: User CSA Library

——Your version: 4.90.3000.400

——Do you want to keep this file? Yes/No

Make sure you select “No” in every one of these Dialogs. This will cause the existing file to be overwritten. This is necessary to ensure the consistency and compatibility of all files that are installed with the MobilePre USB.
