I am attempting to use my ECM-1240 with my new Win 10 computer. Nothing works. The engine software fails opening looking for file ECM 1. The USB driver will not install at all. I can not get communication to the Engine software or the IA software.
Please Help

Re: Windows 10 Problems
What Serial-to-USB cable do you have? I'll see if there's an updated driver.az99 wrote:I am attempting to use my ECM-1240 with my new Win 10 computer. Nothing works.

Have you tried the Engine software in compatibility mode?

Re: Windows 10 Problems
It is the cable you sent with my kit. It says on it-GEARMO FTDI-8
I did not try comparability mode. Using the provided desktop shortcut, it says it can't be found then brings up a screen to select the program. Then after you close out of the prompts to find it, the Engine program appears.

Re: Windows 10 Problems
I did not think of looking for a driver by the MFG. The Gearmo driver worked but I had to run it in compatibility mode. The IA Program works in Win 10. But I will need to do more with the Engine program and dash board.
I will report back.

OK got it. The Engine software and the Mfgs. USB driver software had to be set to Win 7 compatibility mode.
The IA software and dashboard software worked without modification.
Thanx for leading me in the right direction.

Re: Windows 10 Problems
Glad to hear you got it working. When we have a bit more time, I can see if Paul can get the Engine working with Windows 10 natively.
Looks like there's some Windows 10 drivers for the FTDI chipset here: http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm
