Smart Card Reader Installation Process
(for Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000/XP)
 
Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your Windows OS to properly install the reader and driver. The following generic procedure is only meant to assist you in the installation process, and will work for most readers but is not guaranteed. The Troubleshooting Tips are meant to help you in case the reader does not work properly after installation.  
1.

After booting up the PC, log on to Windows as a user
(with Administrator privilege on Win NT/2000/XP).
2.




Connect the Smart Card Reader to the computer. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.  (For example, to connect most serial readers, the computer must be powered down; otherwise the serial reader can be damaged. After connecting the reader to the computer, power up the computer.) Unless the manufacturer recommends otherwise, USB readers and PCMCIA readers can be connected to the computer with the power on.
3.


Windows will automatically detect new hardware (the SmartCard reader) and start a wizard to help install the driver. If Windows does not detect the reader hardware, verify the connection from the reader to the computer.
 
  Windows XP: Select Install from a list or specific location, as shown in the picture above.
Windows 2000: Select Search for a suitable driver for my device.
4.

Insert the CD containing the reader driver(s), and follow the prompts to let Windows search for the best driver for the reader. Select the location where the appropriate driver for the reader is and click Next. This will install the reader driver from the CD.
 
  Windows will start searching for the driver. 
 
  Wait until the wizard completes the search for a driver.
 
  Click Finish.
If Window asks to restart the system after the driver was installed, click Yes to proceed. 
5.


Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click System to open it. Click on the Hardware tab. Click the Device Manager button. Click on the + sign to expand the Smart card readers line, and make sure that the reader is listed and is working properly, i.e. there is no red X or yellow ! symbol in front of the reader entry.
  Finding a red X or yellow ! symbol indicates that Windows has encountered a problem with the driver installation. Please try the following these steps:
 
a.
Right click on the reader entry to pop up a menu.
  b. Select Properties > Driver > Update Driver.
  c. Window will start a wizard to upgrade the Device Driver.

  d. Click Next.
  e.

Select the location where the driver is (floppy, CD-ROM, or specify a location where the driver is located) and click Next.
  f.

Window will start searching for the driver. Wait until Window shows the suitable driver and click Next to complete the upgrade of the driver.
