Installation Instructions for Windows 98 Second Edition / Windows Millennium Edition (ME)

Attention: This installation guide applies to the following Series I MIDI products (only):

- Keystation 49 (NOT 49e)
- Keystation 61 (NOT 61es)
- Radium 49
- Radium 61
- Oxygen 8

This group of products was formerly referred to as the "Keystation Classic" series. We will continue using this term throughout this guide.

Do not connect the Keystation Classic to your computer yet! The driver should be installed first!

If this is the first time you install a Keystation Classic driver on your computer, please skip the uninstallation instructions and go to step 3 of this guide.

1. If a Keystation Classic driver is currently installed on your system, it will need to be removed before a new driver can be installed. Please click "Start | Programs | M-Audio USB Keyboard Device | Uninstall USB Keyboard Device" and follow the instructions on screen.

2. All driver files are being removed from your computer. Once "Uninstall complete" is displayed, click "Close".

3. Download the latest Keystation Classic driver from the M-Audio driver download page and save it to your Desktop. All Keystation Classic devices are using the same driver, so you can use e.g. the Radium USB driver for any other Keystation Classic product.

4. Double-click the downloaded driver installation file. The following screen will be displayed. Click "Next".

4. In the next screen of the setup program, you will be asked to connect your Keystation Classic to your computer. Click "Finish" and connect the Keystation to your computer.

IMPORTANT: Connect the Keystation Classic directly to your computer! Do not use a USB hub - at least not during installation. If you run into any problems during the installation procedure, try a different USB port on your computer and/or check in your Computer's BIOS if the USB port you are connecting to is configured to be able to run in USB 1.1 mode. See your computer's mainboard's documentation for instructions on this. Also, you need to have Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Millennium Edition (ME) to use USB MIDI devices like the M-Audio Keystation Classic. The original release of Windows 98 (without the addendum Second Edition) is not supported.

5. Windows will detect that the Keystation Classic has been connected to your computer and will automatically copy all the necessary files. Although this is not always necessary, you may want to restart your computer to ensure proper operation.

This completes the driver installation and the Keystation Classic is now ready to use.
