Hi all,
I'm running 2 Gigastudio stand alone machines, and have done so for several years without any problems. One of the machines became unstable, which was caused by an error with a hard drive. This has been resolved.
After a fresh install of Windows, Scope 4 and GS3 - when I try to launch GS3 I get the error:
"Hardware version 11 detected. This hardware requires a software upgrade",
and GS will not load.
I run the same setup on the 2nd machine.
Anyone have any ideas what this means?

Thanks

it could mean that the driver is installed in Windows, but for some reason the board is not seen.
I get the same message with a 'hardware version 19 detected' when I launch an (uninstalled) Scope.exe - with uninstalled drivers.
The driver without a board crashes my machine on boot, so it's just a guess regarding the 11 and 19 difference.
What does device manager tell about the presence of the boards ?

If you're convinced the install was successful, then it might help to power the machine down, unplug the power cable, fake-switch it on and off a couple of times by the powersupply's switch, wait a few minutes, re-connect the cables and startup the machine.
It's the mysterious magical all true reset proc, that's due whenever a system plays wierdo - it's not based on logic but on experience...

cheers, Tom
