Pads Shipped Starting June 2011

On response pad units shipped starting in June 2011, no driver download is necessary.  When the response pad is plugged in for the first time, Windows will likely (depending on the version) ask you if you want the drivers installed automatically.  Select default options that Windows offers you.

In Windows' Device Manager, the response pad will appear under the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section as "USB Serial Port (COMx)".

Pads Shipped Before June 2011

Older units can still work with the Cedrus-supplied drivers, on all versions of Mac OS and all 32-bit versions of Windows.  But unfortunately, they will not work with the 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7.

To insure that your response pad will work on all recent computers, please follow these steps.
