TASCAM FW-1804 5
Installation (Windows 2000 and Windows XP)
Installing the Software
The software installation procedure is essentially the same
for both Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
The installer program is identical for both operating sys-
tems, and is called FW1804_WIN_x_yy.EXE (x and yy
represent major and minor revision numbers of the soft-
ware).
NOTE
• You should visit the TASCAM Web site and check to
see that you have the latest version of the software for
the FW-1804. Download the latest version if necessary
and proceed with the installation.
1 Make sure the FW-1804 is NOT connected to the com-

virus protection software.
3 Double-click on the installer program to run it.

matically option.
