Have you tried opening Prontoproedit NG.exe as an XP file?
(R click, details, compatibility).

Seems to me like driver trouble, dunno if there's a 64 bit one around.
Try the web.

There is no 64 bit driver for the 7x00 color series. 3x00 B&W remotes use the standard HID drivers.

PPENG opens fine in Windows 7. Programming is fine. It's downloading to the remote that doesn't work.

Good to remember, this VM thing!
Still using x86 W7 on my PC, but I'd rather do the programming from the living room on W7 64-bit laptop, to save me running up and down the stairs for some hours!

Hi. Its been a few weeks, but I just wanted to say thanks for the VMware tip. After downloading and installing it to Windows 7 Home Ed., I then loaded XP on the VMware and with the exception of an initial hick-up with the USB connectivity, which was solved by installing the USB controller from the VM tools, it runs XP and PPENG just fine and more importantly, downloads to my TSU7000.

I hope you can answer next questions because of you experiense.
Are you running it on a 64 machine as mentioned in a previous post (post6) ?
XP can it be installed from my original cd ore do I need a specific version?
Is installing the USB Vm ware tools all you need or are specific settings needed?

thanks

64 bit? Yes.
XP? Yes - installed into either VMWare partition of Virtual PC partition.
Settings? - Likely - There is a long thread here about Vista 64 bit and VMWare (maybe Windows 7 64 bit and VMWare) where user LowPro has explained how he worked with VMWare to get this going.
