Hi guys

Windows has its own driver for the open even thou it can work, its not recognised by freetyler uninstall the hardware and reinstall the correct driver from enntec then plug the device back in.

Hi matt

Yeah, its in the list of controllers, and I've used it fine on another PC.#

I've unistalled and reinstalled freestyler, but still get the same message "Open Failed!" on open.

As far as i can see - the software works fine -but its not very comforting!

any ideas?
thanks
