Patrick-MMM Castle Link Question/Problem

[TexasSP]

Patrick,

On getting the replacement MMM back there are some software issues. This is with both version 3.10 and 3.05.

The first problem is that both versions tell me that the firmware for the MMM is not able to update via the the specified castle link software. When checking for firmware versions, the screen just says "for latest updates go to castlecreations.com. I have the latest software but can't see any other options for updating firmware.

The next problem is that anything past 3.05 will still not install in Vista. It states that a file/program is missing. I know this was a problem in the past also but thought it had been corrected. While this is a more minor concern than the other, it hinders me from using my laptop with the newer castle link versions. I do have an XP computer as well to do it on for the time being though.

Thanks for your help.

Brian

This type of thing was the exact reason for this thread, but that's ok.

The first thing isn't really a problem. The software is basically telling you, you already have a newer version of the firmware already on the MMM then the software has for it. From what some one said earlier Castle will release a new version of the castle link software soon which will be able to show firmware versions and things for the MMMv2 soon.

Sorry Brian, I missed it when scanning. You can delete this if you want.

lol, no it's ok...

Well thanks to wade7575 I solved the Vista download issue. If you right click the download on the desktop and click run as admin it loads up just fine. First try and it all works good now.

I am hoping what MTbikerTim says is right and the firmware issue will change when an actual update is ready. So, so far so good!

I just got it working on the vista PC too, thanks guys, 3 months later. Now my wife can finish her college lessons in peace without me bitching I need the XP pc LOL

You know what the annoying part is? It was so simple and I didn't think of it months ago! Shows me.

I was told to right click and open as admin. clicked 500 times all over, no idea to save it on the PC 1st LOL. I showed the wife how I got it on and she called me a retard and said if id asked she would have done it months ago. Ask for help pfft like asking for directions. Even sadder I was studying to be CCIE 8 years ago, found marketing suited me better, lucky for Cisco rofl !

im still having trouble getting it to run on Vista..so i use my xp platform instead

[TexasSP]

Try saving it to your hard drive, then sending it to your desktop. Then right click and run as admin. Those were the total instructions given to me.

This applies to most systems

vista + anything = chaos

Vista is good for people with too much CPU speed and memory - it will be more than happy to uselessly consume those for you. This invites comparison with the characteristics of a parasite....
