Installing the Yamaha CBX Driver Ver.1.85 for Windows 95/98/ME
NOTE: The 'CBX Driver Ver. 1.85 Setup' application will install the new driver, even if an earlier version of YAMAHA CBX Driver already exists on the PC.
-
Navigate to the file folder where the downloaded and extracted CBX driver installation files are located.
Double-click the 'setup.exe' file to begin the installation process.
NOTE: If the .exe file extension and the extensions of the other 'setup' files are not displayed in the file list it is possible to change the viewing options for the file folder by selecting 'Details' from the 'View' pull-down menu. This should allow the file extensions to be displayed. If not, the default folder display settings for Windows can be changed to allow the extensions to be displayed. This can be done by checking the 'Hide file extensions for known file types' checkbox in the 'Folder Options' dialog box which is accessed via 'Settings' in the Window's Main Menu (click <Start>). Another way to view the file extensions is to right-click on each individual file to access the file 'Properties' and view the complete file name.

Click the <Next> button.

Click the <OK> button when the 'Information' prompt window appears.
NOTE: By clicking the <OK> button, the configuration of the CBX driver and the installation process is not altered. The 'Information' prompt window only offers instructions on setting up the HOST SELECT switch and connecting the TO HOST terminal to a computer's COM port.
Restart Windows to complete the installation process.
