Installing Windows USB Drivers
The MX2, MX3, MX4, MX5 and any other USB display will require Windows drivers to operate that can be downloaded from here or directly from the eCD. The drivers will create a "Virtual COM Port" on your computer, allowing you to use any LCD software or utilities.

You only need to install the x64 drivers. Are you taken to a option that says "continue anyways" for driver installation?

Yes I am it comes back with not a microsoft approved driver, I click continue anyway and it says error can not install driver.

do you have any other conflicting drivers on your system? That can cause the driver to not install properly either.

I moved the drivers file to my desktop and it loaded from there. Now I'm not finding the matrix software or device.

OK I opened the box to find the mx422 and a mini disc. Installed the unit into the top 2 bays of my case. Then proceeded to install the rest of the components of my computer. Powered up and loaded xp pro 64.
After a successfull start I tryed to find the matrix and was unable to locate it, I then went looking for an unknown device and found one needing a usb driver.I tryed to load the drivers with the mini disk, but it seems to be only a group of pictures.
I then went to the website and downloaded the x64 usb driver to disk and tryed to load from the disk. I tryed it several times. I loaded it to the desktop and it loaded OK. It still had to be loaded with the load anyway option.
Does the mx422 not come with software? I downloaded a trial version of lcdc and it's working now.

So you were able to get the driver working?
The MX422 comes with a key with the sticker on your ecd. You then enter the the key in the website
http://www.lcdc.cc/bundled/ Once you have all the information entered, lcdc will send you a registration code.

yes I did, I've only been working with computers about a year now, so my knowledge has some big gaps. I went back and took another look and found the lcdc file on the disk and opened it, are there more executable files there? Other than trial and error are there manuals or something I can read to make learning to take advantage easier.

Excellent
,
I would start with the getting started guide found on LCDC at
http://www.lcdc.cc/help/index.htm This will make learning a little easier.
If you have anymore questions, please feel free to post them.
Best Regards,
