in Windows 98, Windows ME, and Windows 2000
With USB technology, there's never any need to turn your computer off when unplugging or plugging in the
DG2. When you want to use the DG2, simply close any running programs and plug it into the USB port. Your
system will automatically configure itself. When you're done, you can unplug the DG2 and your computer will
automatically configure for whatever soundcard is installed. In both cases, it doesn't matter if the system is
on or off. For smooth automatic loading, please ensure all audio programs are closed before plugging in, or
unplugging the DG2.
Getting started
Getting your DG2 going is as simple as plugging it into a primary USB port of any computer running Windows
98, Windows ME, or Windows 2000. There's no need to load any special software, but you will have to follow
a few simple steps to enable the Windows USB audio drivers. After you've finished these steps, make sure to
read our tips on recording before launching into a full session.

Note: Some computer systems ship with an OEM version of Windows 98 that does not contain the entire
