| 709448 | 2008-10-03 21:28:00 | For the record - tried the above suggestion in Vista, running as admin, same result... error message in Vista - UT70B.exe has stopped working....a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.... FYI - there is no solution lol ;) |

| 709450 | 2008-10-05 07:31:00 | Gidday guys, An update... I have finally found a laptop that the software wil operate on, and here is the difference: The laptops that it won't wok on have a COM Port location (in device manager) that says "on Generic Bus". I have tried 4 laptops with this type of COM Port location, and the software fails to load on any of them. Tonight I tried the software on my wifes work laptop, a Dell Latitude D800, and the software loads, and works correctly.... the COM Port location is "Intel(R) 82801DBM LPC Interface Controller". And guess what, the desktop PC's that I have successfully installed the software on all have exactly the same COM port location specified in Device Manager. So... I think that is the problem, the software really needs to be loaded on a system with a Intel COM Port Controller.... what do you guys reckon? Good theory? |
