Unzip and install aksys253. Unzip the usb drivers into a folder somewhere
and remember that folder.
Connect usb cable to 4k and turn it on.
In Win7 32bit on my laptop I right clicked on my computer.....

rightclick on that
UPDATE DRIVER SOFTWARE
Browse and find that folder that you placed your
usb drivers in, or you can do it SEARCH AUTOMATICALLY.
Once you have that folder highlighted hit OK
Popup will say drivers are uncertified, I continued on anyway.
Drivers will then be installed.
I opened up aksys afterwards and BAM there was my 4k showing up in aksys.
I didn't have to reboot and I did all this while the machine is on and connected via usb cable.

This is actually the default manual way to install drivers into Windows since several versions ago.

Remember you need to unzip the downloaded file into a folder.
To make it easy BOTH files should be in the same folder BY THEMSELVES.
akMPC4ku.inf
akMPC4ku.sys
Desktop is also a folder, lmao.

getting aksys to work is hit or miss on windows 7 64 bit.
Also If you have windows 7 home 64 bit your screwed because you cannot run Virtual XP mode on it. Only on professional and ultimate editions.
