Instruction for installing the QX3 or QX3+ Microscope with Vista

Note, DO NOT use the software from the CD that came with the microscope.

DO NOT plug in the QX3 microscope until Step 4.

Step 1. Install the QX3PLUS.EXE  software downloaded from Intel:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&Inst=Yes&ProductID=160&Dw\
nldID=4419&strOSs=All&OSFullName=All%20Operating%20Systems〈=eng


Step 2. Download and install the QCODINSTL.EXE software from:

http://www.intel.com/support/intelplay/qx3/sb/cs-016002.htm

Step 3. Download and extract the QX3 Drivers from:
http://hyperslug.s3.amazonaws.com/IntelQX3driverXP.zip


Step 4. Now, plug in the microscope.

When the "Found New Hardware" wizard appears, select "Locate and install driver
software (Recommended)", a message "Installing device driver software" will
appear. If you click on "details",  you will see "Searching Windows Update",
after a while you will be able to select "I don't have a disc. Show me other
options" and browse to the folder with the extracted QX3 drivers from Step 3.
above. The hardware should install successfully.

Double-click on the QX3+ icon on the desktop and the program should run.
