Hello,
I am having several problems with my PowerLinc 1132u X10/USB interface.
My old PC died so I purchase a new Windows 7 machine.
Problem 1:
I downloaded the latest version of HS2 and used the Installer to go out and get the PowerLinc USB Driver.
a.) If I reboot the PC, it will never boot with this USB device plugged in. I went into
the bios and disabled all modes of booting except for the internal hard drive. Very strange.
If I unplugged the 1132u, the PC will boot.
b.) If I connect the 1132, after the PC boots, HS2 doesn't find it. During the initialization sequence, it knows about the driver but cannot find the device itself. I tried plugging it directly into the PC and also a Power Hub (a hint from another thread).
So for this first problem, I cannot use the 1132u at all.
Problem 2:
As an experiment, I installed HS2 on a XP Laptop. I used HS to download the PowerLinc USB driver.
If I try to boot the laptop with the 1132u plugged in, it will hang .. never boots. If I unplug the USB cable it will boot. If I plug the 1132u back in, after the laptop boots, then HS does see it and works as expected.
I would like to get my system setup on the Windows 7 machine.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Gary B
