NOTE: Remember, do NOT connect the FireWire Audiophile to your computer until you
have run the installer application.
For the FireWire Audiophile to function properly you need to have Service Pack 1 installed. To
install Service Pack 1, please consult http://www.microsoft.com for instructions.
During the course of installation, messages about the Microsoft Digital Signature for the
driver will appear. Microsoft tests drivers to ensure they work properly with their
operating systems. While driver signing makes installation and operation more
streamlined, it is not a necessity for a device to function properly with the operating
system. Currently, M-Audio?s FireWire drivers are not digitally signed. However, M-Audio
is committed to providing the best possible drivers for our products and we constantly
evaluate and test our drivers to ensure that they work properly. As a result, there is no
need to worry about the driver not being signed.
