Why does it take so long for Windows to check for Rally drivers?

When you connect a new device to a computer, the operating system (OS) may take a while to confirm which device has been connected, and to automatically determine the best drivers to install.

Rally utilizes standard USB audio and video class (UVC) drivers. It can take up to two minutes or more for the OS to make sure the best drivers for your ConferenceCam are selected and installed. Once the drivers are installed, the ConferenceCam is ready to be used with your favorite video and audio applications.

Is it possible to speed up the time it takes Windows to load the drivers for Rally?

Yes, it is possible. When the ConferenceCam is connected, the drivers are checked for and loaded, and a window opens to show the progress. At the bottom of the dialog window, you can check a box to skip checking Windows Update. Windows will then skip this step and you’ll only need to wait while the drivers are loaded from the operating system.

NOTE: It will take some time for all the drivers to be downloaded initially, but will go much faster any subsequent time you reconnect the camera or move ports.
