Hey HiTechRedneck,

You encountered the same problems I had with the URC online version too. There was another guy on forum "Universal Remote Control Inc" who experienced the same issues. I don't want anyone to lose money in their profession here. Just would be nice if URC could at least put a working software version on their site. I also purchased mine in a place where I have no one to ask about an updated version, I purchased my online. Not knowing that working software might be hard to come by. All I knew before I purchased the controller was URC had a site to download software for the controller and I liked the features the TX-1000 offered. All I know now is that the older version works fine except you lose a couple of neat features they had made to the newer version. Oh well, at least the controller still works.
