BeastX V3 software trouble again!

[Rctintin]

Why O why do I offer to update other peoples software?!!

Been 3 hrs now trying to do this bloody beastX update!! When V3 first came out, I did mine in no time!!

My laptop required a new hard drive, so I had to re load the software from the Beast site. All went well, I have the BeastX updater file on my desk top, and I have the dongle loaded and can be seen at COM4. It has even read the current software on the FBL unit.


The trouble I have is once I click on "open file", the only file in "open beastx update file" is a picture of a file with the word 'driver' after it. If I double click this, it opens to 2 files, one says 'x64' and the other says 'x68'. The file box is flashing at the bottom, but I cannot get anything to go there. I know I am looking for a file that ends with .UPD, but I cannot find it in my docs, my files, my downloads, just nowhere!!

Help please!

Just in case - redownload the update to your desktop and select the file from there?
Cheers,
Rob

There's more than one download on the Beast site.

Try this one http://www.beastx.com/software/Windo...wareBundle.msi

The same thing happens!! Just uninstalled everything, and reloaded from scratch. As soon as I click on 'OPEN' at the bottom of the page, the 'Driver'changes to 'X64' and 'X86'

Try downloading the new version 3 micro settings as it comes with a new beastx updater with a few issues fixed!!
It could be the latest updates only work on the latest pc micro settings and updater.
P.S uninstall both the old pc micro settings and updater then install the knew one!! (both micro settings and updater are contained in the one file)

Something sounds wrong there, are you running this ?

Yep, exactly that screen. When I click on 'open file' I only then get a brown folder with 'Driver' after it. I cannot find anywhere this- 'Beastapp release blar blar blar.upd'

Rob, can you post a screen print, it sounds like you should just navigate to where the firmware file is and open it. See Rob's post earlier in the thread - thats the file we're after.



EDIT - If you have Skype, PM me your skype name - we can screen share and sort it out.
