To check that the driver was installed properly:
 Go to the Start Menu.
 Select "Programs".
 Select "Accessories".
 Select "System Tools".
 Select "System Information".
 Select "Software Environment".
 Select "drivers".
 Scroll through the drivers and find the rjsprom driver:
  Name:        rjsprom
  Description: RJSprom
  Type:        Kernel Driver
  State:       Running
  Status:      OK

If the state is "Stopped" or the status is not "OK", something is wrong.  Try to re-boot
and then check again to see if the driver State is now "Running".  If you cannot find
the rjsprom driver or if it is not working properly, re-install it, but first remove
the driver from the registry.  

To remove the driver from the registry:
 Go to the Start Menu.
 Select "Run".
 Type "regedit" without the quotes.
 Look in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\rjsprom directory (folder).
  If you cannot find the rjsprom directory, it did not register properly.  If you see the
  rjsprom directory but you want to try to re-install the driver, delete the rjsprom
  directory in the registry.


To check to see if the driver was registered properly:
 Go to the Start Menu.
 Select "Run".
 Type "regedit" without the quotes.
 Look in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\rjsprom directory (folder),
  and you should see five lines; (Default, ErrorControl, Group, Start, and Type).  If you
  cannot find the rjsprom directory, it did not register properly.  If you see the rjsprom
  directory but you want to try to re-install the driver, delete the rjsprom directory in
  the registry.


The only other thing to check is to make sure that the rjsprom.sys file is located in the
%windows%\system32\drivers directory.
