New User Installation Problems

[Matt_Taylor]

Just received my Radarbox today and have so far spent some considerable time trying and failing to get it to work.

Firstly, there is contradictory advice as to how to load the sodtware, the web says install then connect, the CD says connect then install. I have tried both without success, I get a green light but no other lights.

In Device Manager it says the Radarbox is not working correctly:

"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"

Driver Provider=AirNav Systems
Driver Date= 27/06/2008
Driver version=2.2.4.0

I am running Airnav 2009 (Pro) on Windows Vista. Serial Number is ANRB13009.

Can someone please assist as I was really looking forward to a quick install so I could start logging.

Thanks.

Tried it on my laptop and it works fine, but that is Windows XP. I still need to get it working on the desktop though as that is what I bought it for.

Welcome.  Update the drivers as per http://www.airnavsystems.com/forum/index.php?topic=786.0

Drivers will be located in .......\AirNav Systems\AirNav RadarBox\Drivers

Are you using Windows Vista 64bit?

[Matt_Taylor]

Thank you Tarbat but I still get the 'cannot load, corrupted/missing etc' message.


Yes I am using Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, 64-Bit.


Thanks.

[tarbat]

Ah, 64-bit.  You'll need to download the 64-bit drivers from http://www.airnavsystems.com/radarbox/support.html

http://www.airnavsystems.com/download/ANRB/drivers/ANRB64bitDrivers.zip

[Matt_Taylor]

Downloaded them, do I now just place the downloaded folder into the drivers folder in my directory?

[tarbat]

Okay.  Firstly, unzip the drivers to any folder.  Then go through the update drivers process in Device Manager.  Make sure you select "Browse my computer for driver software", and select the folder where you've unzipped the drivers to.  Also tick "include subfolders".

Hope that makes sense - if not, just ask.

[Matt_Taylor]

Thanks for that it works fine now!

Now how do I get Network Data to show up?

[tarbat]

Click on the network tab.  Select the tick-box at the bottom of the screen.

Might be worth taking a few minutes to read the user manual ;)

[Matt_Taylor]

I did that already, my status says my account is not yet set up, is that normal?

[tarbat]

No, that's not normal.  Maybe Airnav Support can help with your account setup.
