Hi Jim,
You need to go into device manager and change the 1394 firewire driver to
the legacy driver that is included with Windows 7.

Subject: [Flexradio] flex 5000 laptop operation with windows 7
In the spirit of experimentation I attempted to run my 5000a with my
Lenovo
X61 laptop running windows 7 rc1 with a trendnet tfw-h2pc 2 port PCMI
firewire card.
The card was detected and pronounced operational by the operating system.
I installed the firewire driver downloading the driver from the flex web
site dated 4/29/09 it installed properly
I then downloaded and installed power SDR. It prompted me that .net needed
to be installed and so I did that.
I then restarted the computer completed the install of powersdr 1.18.1 and
launched it.
Powersdr brought up the dos window where it does the fft checks. It then
brought up a window where a progress bar indicated percentage of
completion.
At about 60% complete an error message came up saying it could not
communicate with the radio and to please try again.
Even though I power cycled the radio and restarted powersdr in various
combinations, I still get this communications error.
What's the best way forward to get this to work?
Thanks very much
Jim
