Finally got it to work later last night. I had already tried the 'run as admin' without success. I had just upgraded this system from XP to Vista, then to Vista SP-1. Doing a reinstallation of LP_Bridge did the trick. Must be a driver permission thing that doesn't make it through the upgrade process. The LP-Pan and the associated software works as designed, as does HRD. I've been experimenting with Windows 7 on another laptop here and thought it would be <fun> to try and test out the K3 tools on that OS. You can only upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista at this point in the BETA, thus last night's upgrade from XP to VISTA on the radio laptop. I'll give Windows 7 a shot tonight and see what happens. Anyone try this yet? With my week of experience with Windows 7 it seeming to be more like Vista SP-2 than a new product. That would explain the amazing stability reports for a Microsoft BETA OS. :) Seems like more of a marketing "rebranding" of Vista than a newly developed OS. I guess the Bill Gates-Jerry Seinfeld commercials just weren't doing the trick. ;) It is much faster/leaner feeling than Vista, with a few GUI changes and it comes bundled with IE 8 BETA. The IE 8 BETA definitely feels like a BETA. Some tests I've read even claim it's faster than XP! I'll keep my fingers crossed and report back what I find.
