Installing USB Drivers for the TRAX Flex HS
Note that installing and using the USB drivers for the TRAX Flex HS is only
recommended for the Windows XP or higher operating systems. It may not
work correctly for Windows 98, ME or 2000. We recommend using the Serial
Port download for these operating systems.

USB port, you will need to install the drivers for it. There are two drivers that
will be installed, one right after the other. These drivers are available on this
web site at Downloading USB Drivers for the TRAX Flex HS, on the installation
CD for the TRAXPro software, and as part of the Windows Update feature
available from Microsoft using an Internet connection.
