In all other cases you should connect the PhotoSaver
AFTER the computer has restarted. When you connect the PhotoSaver after
the driver installation the Hardware Wizard should launch - then choose

2. INSTALLING THE BLAZE PHOTO APPLICATION
NOTE: We have developed the new driver to work with the software application "Blaze Photo". If your product was originally shipped with ArcSoft PhotoImpression you may continue to use this for photo editing purposes. However, for capturing in images we do not recommend using PhotoImpression since the capture settings are not optimized for use with this application. You will get better results by using the Blaze software that is available at the link below.
IMPORTANT: This software is available only to current customers of the Spectare PhotoSaver- This software should not be copied and distributed. Therefore we have posted this software in a password protected folder of our site.
