RB not working on Windows 7.

[Matt_Taylor]

I have tried repeatedly to install RB on a Windows 7 laptop and just keep getting nowhere. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, my RB is running software version 2.01 (2008/08/20). The hardware is dated 2009 with serial number ANRB 13009.

I re-installed the RB again today and all I get is the green power light. The blue and white lights do not come on at all and the network/hardware boxes on the software are both yellow when I run the software. Device manager shows no problems and is showing driver version 2.6.0.0 (22/10/2009) which I have downloaded from the Airnav download page. I also have a desktop running Vista on which the RB works fine.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Matt,

That Radarbox version you are using is well out of date.  Try downloading and installing the latest beta version instead. http://www.airnavsystems.com/download/ANRB/ANRB50062BetaSetup.exe

Its a big download around and will take some time to download.

Yeah, i know it's an old version but seeing as I've had no problems until recently I figured there was no need to change! I'll try that download shortly, will I need to reinstall RB?

The link I gave you is the full install.  I would uninstall the old one.  The reason I suggested the new one is because it was out well before Windows 7 and I dont know if it will support 64bit. 

Make sure you install to C:\Airnav and not a program files location.
