18 Section 2A: Installing the Software on a Windows Computer
Installing the Software on a Windows Computer
Before you can use your card, you must first install the card’s software and
configure the card for your computer. The installation process consists of:
ⅷ Card insertion - Inserting the card, which automatically installs the drivers and
the Sprint Connection Manager software on your computer (described in this
section).
ⅷ Card activation and provisioning - Activating your Sprint account and configuring
the card to use your account. (See “Setting Up Service [Windows]” on page 30.)
To install the software and drivers on your computer:
1. If your card has not yet been activated, ensure you are in the network
coverage area (not roaming).
2. If your computer does not have an ExpressCard slot, insert the ExpressCard to
PC Card adapter (included in your package) into your computer’s PC Card slot.
Note:
For comprehensive instructions on installing the Sprint Connection
Manager software and activating the card, see the Getting Started guide.
Note: Windows Vista and Windows 2000 users: You must log in with
administrative privileges to install the software and drivers.
Windows XP users: You may need to log in with administrative privileges,
depending on your Windows configuration.
Before beginning the installation process, it is recommended that you close
all open applications.
