Thanks Miguel.

I've been using 64-bit Windows OS variants since I installed Windows XP64 in 2005, and my laptop is now running the 64-bit variants of Windows 10 (which unfortunately doesn't support a lot of my engineering software, including older versions of MATLAB). But even though I wasted some time with incompatible drivers, I discovered that installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit is painless and free, and this OS supports everything that I have and is still supported by Microsoft.

The note that you referenced is pretty well hidden. It seems to be included only on the overview page, and only if you click on the 'show more' tab under product details. I didn't bother with this, because I knew I was going to be reading the manuals, and I didn't see this referenced in UG-364, where it probably belongs, or at least near the software downloads if it is too difficult to put out a new rev for a users manual. It would be better if the software installation process checked for a compatible OS, but since it doesn't, there should be a disclaimer when you download the support software that identifies supported system configurations.

I tried to install version 1.4 on Windows 10 4-bit with no luck. I'll try to install the rev B version that you installed on your Windows 10 32-bit version on my Windows 10 64-bit version. If that works, it would be an easy workaround for many people any the driver development team would have a good starting point for upgrading the rev 1.4 driver.

Regards,

Alan
