The Olympus DSS recorder is very fussy in its installation. A TERRIBLE NUISANCE. But has to be done.

1) Link the base to the USB at the BACK OF THE COMPUTER (ie. won’t work on the front)
2) Get the CD with the relevant No.

Install the software first from the CD

STEP 3
Install the update (in the 0-critical folder). If step 2 has not been properly done it won’t install.

STEP 4
Next, fix the recorder on its stand. A balloon will come up on Windows saying the device has been detected.

STEP 5
You now have to allow the detect options to run – DO NOT INSTALL THROUGH CD AGAIN. Choose “I’ll do this on my own option” and pick the device driver that Windows offers you (the check box at the bottom).

After that the recorder is ready to work.
