If the ZipCD™ drive does not install properly on a Compaq® DeskPro® computer, the problem may be with two files installed by Compaq. Use the following steps before you install the Adaptec® software for the ZipCD drive:

STEP ONE - Rename the two Compaq files

1. Click Start, choose Find and select Files or folders.
   
   
2. Type SCSIPWR.VXD in the name field and click Find to search.
   
   
3. When the file is located, right-click the file name and choose Rename from the menu.
   
   
4. Change the name from SCSIPWR.VXD to SCSIPWR.OLD. Do not close the File Find window.
   
   
5. Type PQDFVSD.VXD in the name field and click Find to search.
   
   
6. When the file is located, right-click the file name and choose Rename from the menu.
   
   
7. Type PQDFVSD.OLD to rename the file. Do not restart the computer.
   
   
8. Please continue with the next step.
   
   

STEP TWO - Install the Adaptec software

1. Place the installation CD into the CD-ROM drive.
   
   
2. Installation should begin automatically. If the installation does not begin, double-click the CD-ROM drive and select setup.
   
   
3. Choose from the installation menu, which software to install:
   
   
   • Easy CD Creator™: Creates data CDs and music CDs that may be read on different CD-ROM drives on different computers.
     
     
   • DirectCD™: Allows you to place files and folders directly onto the CD.
     
     
   • UDF Reader
     
     Note: If you plan to use a CD-RW compatible CD-ROM drive to read discs created by the DirectCD software application, you will need to install the UDF Reader.
     
     
4. Follow the screen prompts for each software application.
   
   Note: Do not restart the computer until all desired applications are installed.
   
   
5. Once all of the desired applications have been installed, restart the computer for changes to take effect.
