Installing Az-Tech Rockeys in Windows XP

Windows XP is significantly different from other operating systems to date.  Note that hardware keys cannot be accessed unless drivers are installed.

The driver is normally distributed on a CD with the software or on a separate "Drivers" CD. If you do not have this CD, you need to get the driver from the Az-Tech website.

To get the driver, you need to go to the Az-Tech web page and download Azsetup.exe. You then need to install it, restart your computer and then connect the parallel port key. Allow Windows to install the new hardware.

New drivers are now available for Windows Vista. You can download these from the Az-Tech Downloads Page. These drivers should work in Windows 2000 on, but if you have an earlier version of Windows use the old drivers mentioned above.

USB/Parallel ROCKEY Installation:

 Please be sure to do the following: 

  1. Do NOT plug in the USB key!
  1. Install the Interpex software.
  1. Install the Azsetup.exe, InstDrv32.exe or InstDrv64.exe Az-Tech hardware key driver. If you are using the new drivers, Rockey4.txt gives instructions for selecting the appropriate 32-bit or 64 bit driver.
  1. Restart the computer.
  1. Plug in the USB key and allow Windows to install it automatically.
  1. The light on the USB key should come on and stay on. It should blink rapidly when being accessed. If it blinks continuously something is wrong.
  1. It should show up as "USB Key" in the Device Manager under Universal Serial Bus drivers.
If you have already connected the key and if Windows already "found new hardware" and installed it (thinking it knew what it was), you will have to go to the device manager to uninstall the device driver for this before installing Azsetup. Right-click on "My Computer", select "Properties" then go to the hardware tab and click on the "Device Manager" button. Devices that are not working properly are shown in yellow. Find the device, right-click on it and select uninstall. Then disconnect the key and restart your computer.
 
If you are using a USB key, it has a light on it. When connected, the light should come on and stay on. When the key is accessed (when you run the software), the light will flicker. If the key is not installed properly, it will blink continuously.
