Title: unable to download latest update
Post by: sy cohen on December 25, 2005, 08:58:34 AM
When I start AHPro it tells me that there is
an update available (I have 3.187). When I
try to start the update the program does one
of three things: A. nothing, B.tells me that
3.187 is the latest, C.AHPro crashes and
windows shuts it down.

I have a similar problem.However,I am
always able to run the update. When AHP
restarts after the update, it shows the
new "Updated" version number -Ver 3.199,
but when I close AHP and restart it, it
then reverts to the original Version
Number - 3.187.

I have run an update file ex X10 Support
with the same result. I wanted to try
uninstalling, then, re-installing followed
by updating, but I do not see an uninstall
option anywhere, and AHP is not listed
Under Windows XP Home "Add or Remove
Programs".

You have a serious problem with the O/S itself.

Active Home Pro appears in my Add/Remove
programs (I'm running XP Home).

It almost sounds like it's time for the
Atomic Bomb of PC's: Reformat and reload
EVERYTHING.

Good Luck!

It seems to update. AHP closes, and when it
reopens it is still 3.187.  Also, When I try
the undate menu item in help, it comes back
and tells me that 3.187 is the latest version.

I think that the reformat step I may take is
to remove AHP from the computer, and throw
the controller in the garbage, followed by
ordering a unit from SmartHome. AHP has been
a problem from day one.
