StormTracker Device Drivers
The StormTracker PCI card requires a Windows device driver to be installed in Windows before the display software is able access the card. Two different Windows device drivers can be used with the StormTracker PCI Card. Which driver is required will depend on which display software you wish to run. Older software will require the older V5 driver (V5.03 or V5.05) Newer software, such as NexStorm Lite will require the V9 (V9.01) Windows device driver to be installed. These drivers will co-exist peacefully and can both be installed at the same time, if desired.
