Title: CM11a and ActiveHome losing connectivity
Post by: idbl_fanatic on November 16, 2007, 10:04:10 AM
Win XP
I finally got it to work using a USB to Serial adapter works GREAT!! the only problem I have it once it cycles through it's timer settings that I have programmed, it seems to losse connection with the CM11A, I have to restart ActiveHome for it to work again.

That seems to be a common complaint with Win XP.

But if you download your timers and macros to the interface, they'll execute without the necessity of having AH running.

Sometime you can set a few things that may help. Not all the time but worth a try.
Try the Compatibility Tab for the Active Home Programs Icon
Set it to Windows 98/Windows ME
Check the Disable Visual Themes box
Check the Turn off Advanced text services for this program.
