Windows installation problems
If you get an installation error while installing the OASYS PCI drivers, it is possible for the Windows registry to become corrupted. This can lead to the Multimedia Control Panel showing an incorrect version number for the OASYS PCI driver - for instance, the Control Panel Driver Properties might show the drivers as being version 2.0, when they are really still 1.0.
To correct this, follow the un-install directions below, and then re-install the OASYS PCI drivers.
