installed with Windows XP.
DO NOT INSTALL THE SCBASE.EXE OR SMCLIB.EXE COMPONENTS even though
they might be part of this distribution.

To check the status of the Microsoft Smart Card Manager:
   * Start the Computer Management Console by right-clicking on the
     "My Computer" desktop icon and pick the "Manage" item in the menu,
   * Select and open the "Services and Application" group in the list,
   * Click on the "Services" item,
   * Double-click on the "Smart Card" service.
   * The service status should be "Started" and the StartUp Type should
     be "Automatic" 

If this is not the case,
   * Choose "Automatic" in the "Startup Type" drop-down list, then
   * Click on <Apply> button to start the service.

You can now close the Computer Management Console.

In the rest of this file, we assume that you know how to start the
Device Manager. To do so:
   * Right-click on the "My Computer" desktop icon and pick the

         done in two phases.
         The first one installs the default driver,

         1- Install the default driver:

5 - User notes (known deviations)
---------------------------------

* If you change the USB port where the reader is connected, the system
  may ask to provide source disk again! This append only if the first
  installation was done from a removal device like floppy disk or CD.
  To resolve this issue, just copy the file on your local disk.

* After a successful uninstall, if you plug again the device, the system
  keeps traces of previous installation. If you want to remove that,
  you have to search in "%WINDIR%\inf" directory the files that begin
  with oemXX.inf and oemXX.pnf.
  Look for "GEMPLUS GemPC430 USB Smart Card Reader" in one of those 
  oemXX.inf. Then remove this file and the corresponding compiled 
  oemxx.pnf.


6. Troubleshooting
-------------------

If the previously described procedure didn't succeed in installing or
updating the driver, please

1- Open the Device Manager, 
   Click on the "Smart card readers" group and
   Check the state of the "GEMPLUS GemPC430 USB Smart Card Reader".
   If a cross appears, or a Yellow bang "!", select the reader, 
   Click on property in the menu and 
   Check the box line "Disable in this material profile".
   Then contact the support.
