    Installing capture driver and software
    Once you have your camera connected to your computer, the next step is to transfer
    the pictures contained in the camera memory to your computer’s hard disk. Before you

    insert Dial-Up Networking Disk 1/2 into your floppy disk then run “Setup.exe”. Follow
    instructions to complete the installation. There is no need to restart Windows before
    you complete next Twain driver installation.
    Installing the TWAIN Driver

    to install the TWAIN driver into your system.
    Please insert Camera Driver Disk 1/2 into your floppy disk then run “Setup.exe”. Follow
    instructions to complete the installation. You may now either restart Windows or go to
