There appears to be a new (minor?) update to the ProntoEditNG software. The version I downloaded after the March 2004 release of 2.0.6 does not match the one which is available here. That one is shown as 2.0.9.

Anyone know what the changes were between versions?

They've added the "improved IR code learning" that first appeared in ProntoProEdit NG v1.0.15 back in June.

Hi all,
don't upgrade if you use WinXP Pro SP2! Mine doesn't work anymore.
First you have to uninstall 2.0.6, then install 2.0.9 - BUT the Installer try's to install MDAC2.5SP2 which fails! As result you will get an PENG "cleaned" system, because if you try to re-install 2.0.6 you won't be able to install it. Good Job done by Philips :-((

Thank you! Very good tip. At least you saved me... ;)

I have my Prontoedit loaded onto my PC with XP SP2, does XP have an effect on learning through the software?? I am having a tough time with learning

I don't think SP2 in particular does anything to code learning, but general in-software learning CAN be a problem for some. It's usually suggested to download the file to the remote, learn there, then upload back.

Im a total newbie here and just got a TSU3000 and in the process or learning it. So I do not have much to offer yet, but I thought I offer my 2 cents to this thread. I just loaded the 2.0.9 on my machine with XP Pro and SP2 without any issues. Software working OK and code learning using the software is taking about 2-4 seconds for each code. I did not have any previous version of ProntoEdit installed as the 2.0.9 install was part of a complete rebuild after new hard drive install.

I would also like to say this is a great site and forum. I think the Pronto remote is one of the coolest remotes ever with the flexibility it offers. I am a regular visitor this site now!!

This solved my problem not be able to install PENG again...

At google type "windows xp 1919 error" you will find:
"Error 1919. Error configuring ODBC data source" error message.
