Open C:\Windows\system32 and copy all files beginning with “GDS_” into the folder
created in Step 1. Note these files may be placed in a sub-folder named “system 32”.
If you are installing the new operating system over the old one, it is recommended that you fully uninstall GDSLAB before the update. To do this, after all the existing files have been backed up in Steps 2 and 3, uninstall GDSLab from the PC. This can be completed by opening “Add or Remove Programs” in the Windows Control Panel and removing the application named “GDSLab”. All GDSLab test modules
and HASP software should then be removed individually in the same way– these are identified as programs beginning with “GDS_”.
