How come when I download the drivers from M-Audio's website there isn't an install file included?

There is only an uninstall file and a tray file that are Exe.

Why do those ones show up but not the most important file that being the driver installation itself?

Im on windows XP.. this happens all the time with M-audio's drivers.. even on the cd the install file remains invisible for some reason.

this is where I downloaded them from...
http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do...rlicense&ID=324

How do I locate the driver install file? And how come this is a recurring problem for me? What exactly do I have configured wrong on my computer that keeps these important files from showing up?

Thanks.

Right click on the delta.inf file and select install..
It should install the drivers..

.inf = install file

nothing happened... i tried it a few times and i also restarted my computer and then tried a few more times.

it didn't work.

Sorry I was a bit too hasty with my reply..

Try this.

Go to device manager, find your delta there, right click on it and select update and select the install from list or defined location (or something like that don't have english version of windows on this comp, therefore can't give a detailed name), in the next screen select the "search from these locations" and cross the second checkbox and browse to the directory where the delta.inf and other files included in the zip file are..

how do i find my delta in my device manager? i looked in ever single place in my device manager but nothing said "delta" in there.

do you know which category it would be under in the device manager?

Probably under Sound, Video and gamedevices

well i guess it's not there cuz when i downloaded the zip file from m-audio i used the uninstaller that came in that folder in preperation to install the new drivers.

what can i do now in order to install the drivers i downloaded from m-audio?

Control Panel->Add New Device (or something like that)

1) Desktop : Right Click on MY COMPUTER and choose PROPERTIES.

2) Choose HARDWARE on the table and click on DEVICE MANAGER.

3) Find Sound Video Controller. You should be able to find the yellow Question mark there. For my case, I will uninstall everything in that Sound Video and Controller to let the computer Detect the hardware.

4) Put in your CD ROM and restart.

5) When your computer restarted, your computer will detect new hardware found! Click on it.

6) Follow the stuff and click install to detect the CD ROM by itself.

7) If it prompt something like Stop Installation of Continue Anyways, Just Click CONTINUE ANYWAYS.

You should be able to get your Soundcard installed.

However, you d/l from the web as I not sure will this help. Dont you had the CD Rom to install?

Hope it helps.
