Installing the PxVC1100 is pretty straightforward. To begin, shut down your system, unplug the power cord and open your computer’s case. Next, insert the card in an available PCIe x1 slot, secure it into place and then connect a floppy power cable to its mini 4-pin power connector. Once that is done, close your computer’s case, reconnect the power cord and turn the system back on.
The next step is to install the drivers and bundled software which are located on the WinFast Software Pack CD. If you have autorun enabled on your computer, the menu pictured below will automatically come up when you insert the disc.
As you can see, this menu is pretty straight forward. Check the boxes next to "Driver" and "TMPGEnc XPress" and then click "Start" to begin the installation. A message will then pop up, telling you that the driver is being installed. After that, the InstallShield wizard will continue on, installing first TMPGEnc XPress on then the SpursEngine plug-in. Take note that you will need to enter your serial number and obtain a license before the application and plug-in can be used.
If installed correctly, the PxVC1100 should show up in the Device Manager under the sound, video and game controllers section. With the latest drivers, the card is identified as a "WinFast PxVC1100".
