• Select Language: Select your language, and click on "Ok".
  
• Plug-in Nintendo USB Connector Only When Prompted: Patience, Young Jedi! Wait for the setup program prompt, and insert the USB stick into an open USP port only when the program directs you to do so.
  
• Ignore Any Warnings About Old USB Ports: If you do not have a Hi-Speed USB port (USB v. 1.1 or newer), the setup program will probably display a warning to let you know that you have inserted a Hi-speed USB device into a non-hi-speed USB hub. Click "Ok" to complete software installation.
