Vista Installation requirements:

The CompuTrainer CompCS and Multirider III software have special installation requirements for Vista which YOU MUST FOLLOW before that software can operate. ErgVideo REQUIRES your CompCS or Multirider III to operate, so YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

  1. Install CompCS to a folder in the root directory of your primary disk: C:\CompCS or C:\Multirider III instead of the default C:\Program Files\CompCS or C:\Program Files\Multirider III folders.
  2. For CompCS, you must turn off Windows Aero display and use Windows Basic. That's a good thing, since Aero just stresses your video card more than necessary. Right click you desktop and select "Personalize" then "Window Color and appearance" then click the text "Open classic appearance properties". Now select "Windows Vista Basic", apply, Ok, and close the windows.
  3. You should do the same as (2) for Multirider. It just relieves the video system somewhat.
  4. Now verify that either CompCS or Multirider III operate correctly. Connect your bike. Any further problems must be referred to Racermate Inc.

Now for ErgVideo:

  1. You require an MPEG-4 v2 codec on your system. A NEW INSTALL OF VISTA MAY NOT INCLUDE AN MPEG-4 v2 codec.  YOU SHOULD INSTALL THE FFDshow CODEC. It is very efficient and flexible. Your Windows Media Player, if set to search for codecs on the internet, MIGHT download one for you, but chances are, the one it loads ISN'T nearly as good as FFDshow. Download and install it. Our instructional video shows you how to configure it.
  2. When Vista CD/DVD Autoplay asks if you would like to run a program on the DVD, select the file ending in .bat.

Version 107 is proven by ErgVideo Inc. to operate with both Multirider III and CompCS most recent versions, installed as above.

Known issues:

  1. The instructional video may not play automatically on Vista upon inserting the disk. You can play it by right clicking on the DVD drive icon, Explore, and locating the file Instructions.avi in the root folder of the DVD, and double-clicking.
  2. DVD's shipped after June 26/07 will have installer modifications to ensure your instructional video will play upon installation.

For use with CompuTrainer?: - MultiRider 3 v1.3 or Coaching Software v 1.5.326 or later
