Hi,

I have just migrated to Windows 8.1 64 bit and although there seem to be several threads about Vista & Windows 7 I cannot find a solution that works for this configuration.

I can install and run ProntoEdit without issue but obviously the USB drivers do not work.

As windows 8.1 now uses Hyper-V for virtualisation I to see if I could an XP virtual machine to connect but have been unsuccessful.

I also tried using VirtualBox (using a Win7 32bit image) and although I seem to be able to select the pronto USB device to pass through the virtual machine refuses to register it.

So I am left with having to keep my old XP machine hanging around (and taking up space) purely to program my Pronto's.

Anyone got a solution that would enable me to program via my new machine, be it natively or virtual.

Cheers

Baz
