    Beo 5 Config Tool wont Regonise Beo5

    Hi

     

    I have programmed beo5 via config tool however when I try to Finalize the download button is greyed out, I notice in the top of the programme something is in red, I know that the Beo5 is not being regonised, i have gone into devices in win7 and right clicked but it seems to be that the usb driver has not installed, I downloaded the config tool from one of the posts on the site ver 3.23, running windows 7, hope somebody can help

    If you have installed the Configuration Tool on a Windows 7 PC you will need to manually install the Beo5 driver. You will need to browse for Beo5Usb.inf in the Beo5Driver directory.

    There is no reason for you to actually open the file, that will not help you.

    When the system or you manually load any driver onto a Windows system it looks for a file with an .INF extension which in the case of the Beo5 is called Beo5usb.inf located in C:\Bang & Olufsen\Beo5 Configuration Tool\Beo5Driver

    First, make sure your Beo5 is fully charged. When you plug it into the PC USB port Windows 7 should say it has found "Found New Hardware".

    If, for some reason it does not say that it has "Found New Hardware" and you are sure that you have the Beo5 correctly connected via to your PC via the USB cable AND your USB controller is NOT made by SIS then go into the Windows Control Panel and do a search for new hardware.

    When Windows comes up with the driver installation wizard manually tell Windows where to find the driver information file at the location above. This file tells Windows how to install the driver and what actual driver file to use.

    For your information ONLY as you don't actually need this information to load a driver, below is a listing of the .INF file for the Beo5 which Windows uses to install the driver:-

    I have found that if the Beo5 is not recognised correct by Windows it helps to use a USB hub between the PC and the Beo5.

    I have used a D-Link model DUB-H4 with success.

    I am assuming that the Beo5 is fully charged ? please confirm

    Please and hold the STANDBY button and then press the centre button then press INFO on the screen the battery level will be displayed.

    If the battery is fully charged, then turn the unit off by pressing and holding the centre button until the unit goes off, then switch it on again by pressing the centre button again and try connecting it again.

    The Beo5 Can control Pioneer products which use a modified NEC protocol. You will need to make an XML file for each product.
