Download the latest drivers. Un-zip the drivers into a known location.

Run the 'drivers_install.exe file. This file will update your old drivers and install new ones.

You may find it easier if you un-zip the drivers onto a floppy disk.

Windows XP users should first try updating your drivers. To do this:

1. Select 'My Computer' from the desktop.
2. Select 'Control Panel'.
3. Select 'System'.
4. Select 'Hardware'
5. Select the 'Device Manager' Tab.
6. Scroll down to the heading 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers'.
7. Click on the '+' sign next to the heading. You will see it change to a '-' sign, and a list of sub-headings will appear.
8. Look for the Evolution USB driver in this list of Sub-headings. Click on 'Driver Details'. If you can't see it, consult the 'USBInstall.pdf' to see how to install the driver.
9. Click on 'update driver' and select the directory where you have stored the new drivers.
10. Scroll up the Device manager window and look for a heading 'Sound Video and Game Controllers'.
11. Click on the '+' next to this heading, to display the list of sub-headings.
12. Look for the Evolution MIDI driver. Click on 'Driver Details'.
13. Click on 'update driver' and select the directory where you have stored the new drivers.
14. Exit the Device Manager.

If this has not worked and you still can not receive MIDI in, you need to fully remove any Evolution (or other) drivers that may be corrupted from your system. Step-by-step guides are given below explaining how to do this:

Select the Operating System you are installing the drivers on:

Windows 98

Windows 2000

Windows ME

Windows XP

Note: Windows NT, 95 and 3.1 do not support USB.
