Important Installation Notes:

1. Unpack the ZIP file to a temporary folder...
2. DO NOT USE THE HXFSETUP.EXE UTILITY INCLUDED IN THE ZIP FILE !!!!
3. Reboot Windows to Safe Mode...
4. Uninstall any driver detected by Windows or any older driver as follows:
Open Device Manager...
-> In 98/98SE:
- Right-click "My Computer" click Properties > Device Manager ...
-> In ME/2000/XP
- Right-click "My Computer" click Properties > Hardware > Device Manager ...
--> Locate Modems and expand it, select any present modem and remove it from system then reboot (again to Safe Mode)
--> Use "Add New Hardware" Applet in Control Panel and choose to select the driver manually...
----> In the window showing the manufacturers on the left and models on the right.. click "Have Disk"
----> Windows will ask for the location of the files, navigate to the temporary folder and specify the HSF.INF file...
---> Windows will show the Softk56 Data Fax Voice Speakerphone CARP driver...
---> Select it and choose Next, Windows will start to copy files....
--> After it finishes, reboot Windows to normal mode...
----> ALL DONE !!!
NOTE: DO NOT DO THIS IN NORMAL MODE as Windows (especially XP) will try to act like a smart-ass and activate the driver without rebooting first which will generate an IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Blue Screen of Death Crash...
--> On 98/ME should work in normal mode but do it in safe-mode just in case...
