Update the front panel from FP3.0.11 to 3.1.7

Hello,
I use the FP3.0.11 in my win XP 32bit PC. I just try to uninstall the FP3.0.11 and install the FP3.1.7 and the device (XEM3050) is no more recognized by the computer. How can I install properly the front panel and the usb drivers ?

Thanks and regards,

Be sure to read this page on the differences that came around with FrontPanel 3.1:

Thank you.
I’ve checked the delta between FP3.0.11 and 3.1.6.
During my install, after the install the sofware automatically I have to select the *.inf file as shown in the picture below FP3.1.6_install_select_inf.bmp[ATTACH=CONFIG]224[/ATTACH]. And whatever the slected file at the end the installation fails with the following error: [ATTACH=CONFIG]225[/ATTACH].
Any idea on what’s wrong.

Thanks and regards

In device manager, try right clicking on the device, selecting “Update Driver…” and pointing directly to the driver installed at “Program Files/Opal Kelly/FrontPanel/Driver”.

See if that helps.

Hello,

thanks for the reply.
I’ve tried to update the driver from the device manager by pointing the “Program Files/Opal Kelly/FrontPanel/Driver” but windows replies that no better driver can be installed as it is shown in this picture[ATTACH=CONFIG]226[/ATTACH].
Something is still wrong with my computer:confused:.

Best regards,

Have you tried to uninstall the driver?

Otherwise, it sounds like something has gone awry with your driver setup and you may need to either go back to a Windows restore point or do some Windows registry acrobatics to “truly” remove the driver. Windows makes it pretty difficult to remove all remnants of a driver, but there is an abundance of assistance available online.
