How do I test my Digital Praise dance pad(s) when running on Windows?
Answer
To test a Digital Praise dance pad(s) using Windows, you can use one of the following procedures.

TESTING FOR THE ORIGINAL DANCE PRAISE, DANCE PRAISE 2, AND DANCE PARTY RUNNING ON WINDOWS:(The exception is the original Dance Praise with computers running Windows Vista or for those that the dance pad icons do not appear on the launcher.)

-Go to the game's launcher. (Take the CD out of the drive if it is in it and
then return the CD into the drive.) You should see 2-4 dance pad icons on the
screen.
-Plug in the dance pad, if you haven't already.
-If the dance pad is recognized by your computer, the icon will light up.
-If the icon is lit, step on the different squares on the dance pad and observe
the corresponding square on the screen. A paw should cover the corresponding
square. This will indicate that the different squares are being recognized.
(All squares except the middle square should display a paw when stepped on.)

TESTING THE ORIGINAL DANCE PRAISE RUNNING WINDOWS VISTA OR FOR THOSE THAT THE DANCE PAD ICONS DO NOT APPEAR ON THE LAUNCHER:

To test your Digital Praise dance pad(s) when running the game on Windows Vista or
for those games that do not have the dance pad icons on the launcher, you need
to download our dance pad testing application Feedback Pro.

Application: Feedback_Pro.zip (Slightly differently working with different computers.)
-Double click on Feedback Pro.zip and download the application to your desktop.
-Open
-Double click Feedback Pro file folder
-Double Click Feedback Pro.exe.
-Select Extract All
-Next
-Next
-Finish
-Double click Feedback Pro
-Double click Feedback Pro.exe

Once Feedback Pro is running you can plug one or two dance pads into your
computer's USB port(s). When you plug them in, you should hear "Dance Pad
Detected"
and you should see the dance pad graphic light up. As you step on the different
symbol that you pressed. If one or more of the symbols do not light up or the
dance pad does not light up when plugged in, then contact our technical
support for further assistance. (All squares except for the middle square
should light up when stepped on.
when stepped on.

TESTING DIGITAL PRAISE DANCE PADS USING GAME CONTROLLERS (GAMING OPTIONS)IN THE CONTROL PANEL:(The exception is the original Dance Praise running Windows Vista.)
In Vista, if you are not in Classic View, look for Game Controllers under Hardware and Sound.

Recognition of Dance Pad:
-Select Start
-Select Settings
-Select Control Panel
-Select Game Controllers (Gaming Options)
Plug in the dance pad to the USB port at this time. Test one dance pad at a
time. Observe what comes up on the screen. Do not touch the keyboard while you
are waiting.

Your dance pad is recognized by your computer if something appears on the
screen when you plug in the dance pad. If the dance pad is recognized, continue
with testing the arrows.

Testing the Arrows:
-Select Properties on the Game Controller's screen.
-Step on the different arrows on the dance pad and observe what number is
highlighted on the screen.

The desired results:
X = 3
O = 2
Triangle = 1
Square = 4

Up Arrow = 13
Down Arrow = 15
Left Arrow = 16
Right Arrow = 14
