Title: Installed AHP and lost Xpad
Post by: TCruz on November 30, 2009, 08:57:17 PM

I have always used XPad on my computer. I just installed AHP and now I get the Programed encountered an error and must shut down, blah blah blah message. I have uninstalled xpad and reinstalled but still get the message. I don't want to have to run AHP all the time to turn lights on and off. How  can I get xpad back?

What's Xpad?   A Google search popped up it's a laptop cooler.  What version of AHP did you get?

It's an onscreen remote.
You can can get it in the downloads area. Real convenient control from the PC.

And I found the issue to be in C:\Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common; the remote client activex component for myhouse online that gets installed via internet explorer was causing the issue. I removed those files and all is good again.

Glad you found the answer to your problem.
Xpad. You jogged my memory. I believe it is part of the Firecracker Kit.

Your right! I believe it was the firecracker where I first saw it. Although my serial firecracker is long gone; it works great with the USB CM19A that came with my Pan Tilt Pro software.
