Re: clean install question for future

2010-10-16 by nikonuser@ymail.com

I have a Spyder3 Elite....
running software version 4.02.... 

so my next install i can just install the 4.02 version software instead of running 3.15 off the disc and then updating? I just bought it from B and H  Photo 3 days ago.

I would prefer to just install 4.02 but i wasn't sure if datacolor had full programs on their updates like many do.

i have in add remove programs only a listing for version 4 of your software as it must overwrite or remove the previous version on windows 7 professional 64 bit.

thank you
