Moates Burn 2 for Vista wont work
Moates Burn 2 dont work with Vista. Its a driver issue. Whats a quick fix to get it working?
Its works fine with my XP computer. Plug and play as it should be, but thats at work and Vista is at the house. Ive heard a few others with the same problem, but no answers yet.

I got this reply that doesnt do me much good.
"Try installing the Vista-specific driver for VCP from www.ftdichip.com and see how that goes. It's for the BURN1? That's the FT232BM chipset.".
Ill try to call him tomorrow.

Is it a signd driver issue? I'm having that issue with HP tunners. The work around until they get signed is to boot your computer and press F8 (I just keep pressing it because not sure when to catch it), but it will present you with a list of choices on how to start windows. Choose disable signed driver enforcement. If this works, you will need to do this each time you want to use it.

The strange part is, when I plug the Burn 1 into the USB port, it doenst even show in the "my computer" list of ports. I cant even get to manually.
Moates last email stated "many are using Vista without issues". I cant see why I would have a problem.

Without the driver it won't see the box.
Unplug the unit and install the drivers. Re-boot the machine. Then plug the Burn 1 into a good USB port and see if it finds it. This is pretty simple.
Then click on the burn SW and see if it is recognized.
The driver is here:

The unit doesnt show a screen with the procedures to download the driver as described. I get nothing. Moates is not helpful. Guess I should return it.

Keep in mind that you can easily trash stuff with it too ... it isn't a toy to experiment with. Be careful.

You probably should return it. If you can not install the driver (which only requires that you double click it) then you will never be able to use it and subsequently understand the hex addressing for your particular processor chip.

Thanks for the help guys.
