1 Knowledge Base-ID: 1081 Created: 23 May 2008 Last Change: 23 June 2008 Revision: 1.2 Keeping your older Olympus Soft Imaging Solution FireWire camera running under Windows XP Service Pack 3 Summary This guide shows you the possibilities you have to use an Olympus Soft Imaging Solution FireWire camera under Windows XP with installed Service Pack 3. Problem After upgrading Windows XP from Service Pack 2 (SP2) to Service Pack 3 (SP3) it may appear, that older Olympus Soft Imaging Solution FireWire cameras are not recognized by the computer anymore. The Image Analysis Software will not be able to acquire images. The following cameras may be affected: F-View II CC-12 Colorview I Colorview II Colorview III Colorview IIIu MegaView III KeenView DP 25 A partial rollback of the SP3 upgrade will resolve this problem. A detailed description of the respective individual steps of the rollback is given later in this service bulletin. 1 of 12 Jürgen Tümpner & Danilo Johnsdorf

2 Solution Additional Considerations To carry out the SP3 partial rollback, you need administrator rights on your computer and for Windows. The Windows Explorer must be configured to show hidden files and folders. Note: After you carry out the SP3 partial rollback, the result of the rollback will be lost if you: Install a new IEEE1394 host controller Change the existing host controller to a different PCI slot in the PC In both cases, you should carry out the SP3 partial rollback again Requirements Before starting the roll back, you need to have a few support files in place. These files may be received either from the respective Olympus Soft Imaging Solutions setup disk (requires Build 1240 or higher) in directory Program\Support\camera\SIS_Firewire or from Olympus Soft Imaging Solution support directly. The files required are: Prepare.bat Cleanup.bat SP3_to_SP2_1394m.zip SP3_to_SP2_1394o.zip SP2 Partial Rollback 1. Disconnect all IEEE 1394 devices from the connectors on the computer. 2. Copy the file SP3_to_SP2_1394m.zip for minimal rollback or SP3_to_SP2_1394o.zip for rollback including OHCI driver to your desktop. Then copy the files Prepare.bat and Cleanup.bat to your desktop. 2 of 12 Jürgen Tümpner & Danilo Johnsdorf

3 3. Extract the files to your windows directory. Press File extract all files to start the Extraction Wizard and click Next. 4. Watch for the right directory to extract to. It must be a subdirectory of you current windows root directory. The directory should be c:\windows\sp3_sp2_1394o or c:\windows\sp3_sp2_1394m. Click Next. 5. The extraction complete window will occur. Click Finish. 3 of 12 Jürgen Tümpner & Danilo Johnsdorf

4 6. After extracting the installed files will be located in the following subdirectories: for full OHCI rollback or at: for minimal rollback. 7. Now locate the following new icons on your desktop: Double click to the Prepare icon to start the roll back to SP2 now. 8. The command prompt window has now been opened and commands have been processed. Comment: The batch job renamed the service pack cabinet file Sp3.cab to _sp3.cab. This is necessary to switch off the driver cache of Windows XP temporarily. Verify the filename _sp3.cab. If the name reads sp3.cab the roll back must fail! Press any key now to open the device manager. 4 of 12 Jürgen Tümpner & Danilo Johnsdorf
