After downloading a driver upgrade, complete the following steps to extract the files from the driver archive:

1. Create a temporary directory on your hard disk.
2. Download or copy the self-extracting archive into that directory. Some drivers have a set of two or more self-extracting archives. Save each archive in a separate temporary directory. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each archive.
3. Run the self-extracting archive. This will extract a Software License Agreement, an informational txt file(s), and a second self-extracting archive (represented by ARCHIVE in the remainder of these instructions).
4. After reading the License agreement and the informational txt file(s) follow any directions before running the second self-extracting archive.
5. Run the ARCHIVE with the following command to maintain the file and subdirectory structure within the temporary directory on your hard disk (i.e. ARCHIVE -D).
   The archive (sw.exe) may be run from the Windows Start/Run windows. When extracting the files in this manner, you will still need to add the command extention "-d". This can be done after browsing to the archive file; add a space, followed by "-d" to the command line. This will preserve the directory structure of the driver files, which in some cases is necessary for correct installation.
6. Review all informational text files (README.TXT and DESC.TXT) before proceeding.
