Plug the PT module into a USB port and when the hardware wizard runs, point it to this driver folder and allow the drivers to load. The wizard should run twice to install one driver set under "Ports" in the device manager and another under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers".

Windows may assign a new com port to PressureTrace. Check the PT Settings.INI file located in the Documents/PressureTrace Files folder (double click will open it in Notepad) to confirm it is the same com port assigned in the device manager.

Important Notes About Vista
PressureTrace software versions older then 4.5 were not Vista compliant. If you upgrade your system to Vista the default installation will enable "User Controls". This feature writes hidden files on your system which run instead of files installed in the program files directory. Before you launch any old release on Vista, it is highly recommended you uninstall the PressureTrace software and upgrade to the Vista compliant 4.50 version. Once upgraded to version 4.50 you can enable user controls if you wish.

Unfortunately there are several variations of Arial Narrow, some of which do not include a bold type face. The font file can become corrupted or over written by other installations. Open your Fonts control panel and open the Arial Narrow font files. If sample text is not displayed the font may be corrupted. Delete the corrupted Arial Narrow font and install this file
