Installing the controller driver in Windows 8.1
Drivers for the USB Hand Control are included in the setup of TeleScript Pro/AV and TECH. The drivers are "signed" and no further steps are require to install the support files. Simply plug the controller into an available USB port and wait while Windows associates the driver with the hardware.
The following steps would be required ONLY if you have an setup file which was built prior to 2013. (In this case, it is HIGHLY recommended that you update to a current version of TeleScript Software!
