I have installed the new version of PEP and this still does not recognize my 9600 on Windows Vista. The same with the firmware updater.
I have also encountered the problem running PEP reported in the NG forum. I rebuilt my work notebook and installed PEP. PEP worked fine. A few hours later. when I try to run the program it crashes immediately. Playing around with compatility settings and turning off Aero made no difference. The new version of PEP still works fine on other computers.
I no longer have any computers running XP. This means I cannot make any changes to my configuration or upgrade to the latest firmware.
PLEASE, PLEASE provide a version that works on Vista.
