Some dialogs will appear asking you if you really want to install this driver. Always
click “Yes” or “Ok” to go on with the installation.

restart your computer
at this step. (
except on Windows XP
)

This dialog will appear on your screen:
¾
If everything went Ok, all checkboxes on this dialog will be checked after a while and
the dialog will close. It may ask you if you want to overwrite your existing MIDI
Channel configuration. Clicking “Yes” is recommended if you don’t have an existing
very special custom HardSID MIDI Channel setup.
¾
Windows 98 and ME will restart to make the installation finished. Windows XP and
Windows 2000 won’t restart.
¾
The installation is ready now.
NOTE: Don’t move or remove the installation folder. All of your
executables and data files will run / open from there!
(C:\HARDSID for example)
