Today I have upgrade my OS from XP to Windows 7. On this PC with XP the BEO5 tool worked fine so far.

After the upgrade I installed the BEO5 software again (version 3.59).

The USB driver is not installed. I found an item on this forum about the problem. However I can't fix the problem. There is no way to install the driver manually.

Does someone know what to do?

Piet

Piet,

You can manually install the driver via DEVICE MANAGER

Go to "Control Panel" then click on "System" then on Windows 7 I think if my memory serves me correctly it is "Hardware" tab then "Device Manager".

It is likely that you will see a USB device which says "Unknown Device" with a yellow ! next to it.

If, so then right click on it and left click on "Update Driver"

Browse for the driver at:-

C:\Bang & Olufsen\Beo5 Configuration Tool\Beo5Driver\Beo5Usb.inf

Well it's working at last

The story:

Opening the device manager didn't show a yellow ! sign, with the BEO5 connected. Disconnection and connecting again....no result.

There wasn't any "unknown device", strange....

Then I tried a different USB port (one that wasn't used for the BEO5). And there it was in the device manager, the yellow sign. Now I could install the driver.

So in order: Open the device manager, connect the BEO5 to an USB port (one that hasn't been used for the BEO5) and install the driver for the "device with the yellow ! sign".

Thanks keith for the help. Opening the device manager was the solution. 

Piet,

I am pleased that it is all working now..

Hi,

I`um using config version 3.87 for a while on two different PC`s with Windows XP. I did not have any problems up till now.

Yesterday, It tried to install the same version on a PC with Windows 7-64. The installation was not a problem but when I start the software, I have following problem:
The Login window appears and I try to start in Offline mode. After that the Window `Loading...` appears, but it never disappears. I have to kill the application in the task manager.

I removed the complete software and installed it again but with the same result.

Did everyone else have this situation?

Thanks in advance,

No experience with Windows 7 64 bit.

My installation was on Windows 7 32 bits version.

Hi,

I experienced exactly the same with 64 bit Win7, but had no problem with the 32 bit version. I have tied to run in different capability modes, but nothing helps. So if someone are able to find a solution please give a hint.

Hi,

the Beo5 Config tool and the USB Driver is only supported by 32 bit OS. So

it will work under Win7-32 all releases but not under Win7-64. The new Version 4.11

starts under 64-bit and you can work on it, but the USB-Driver is not working....

With Win7 a Software called Virtual WIN-XP can be installed. It´s a kind of VM which

can installed on Win7-64bit and simulate an XP32 on Win7 in a window. The USB Driver

and the V3.87 and 4.11 works fine ;-)
