Thanks for all of the problem details. We'll
get to work on these things.

JTA: If your VA11A isn't working, check the
listing for Imaging Devices in Device
Manager. That should say "X10 VA11A Video
Capture." If it doesn't, choose to update
driver and install the driver located in
Program Files\Common Files\X10\Driver
Install\VA11A Vide Capture\.

Concerning the post by JTA - " VA11A isn't
working and Device Mgr is showing Intel PC
Camera "  . . .

FWIW . . .   When I checked Microsoft
Windows Update a few days ago the following
was listed under Optional hardware updates
"Intel Corporation - Video - Intel PC Camera
Pro"
I decided to accept the download thinking it
might "enhance" something related to Video
Capture in AhP . . .  wrong . .  it killed
the VA11A . I got a warning on the next load
of  AhPro that it could not locate the VA11A
and the drivers needed to be re-installed (
I did and that restored the function of the
VA11A Video Capture ).

3.187 will not run. Re-installing 3.186 will
not run until a couple of re-boots are done.
Seems it needs a couple of boots to get back
into the groove.

Any ideas? Running Win98se.

Well, without doing anything (except
downloading the macros a few times, mostly
without success) the system now recognizes
the VA11A correctly AND my macros are working
again! I haven't done or changed anything.
Can anyone explain that?
X10 - thanks for your response. I will
remember that for future reference.

Just downgraded!!

During the installation the upgrade
crashed.  I had to try again.  This is a
WinXP Pro box with SP2, not Win9x.

After I figured out the new confusing
interface, the software would not cntrol my
modules from the PC.  The remote (KR19A)
worked fine and would still control modules
via the CM15A.

Tried clearing the controller - no dice.
Tried downloading macros, they didn't work
and would not trigger modules as scheduled.

The new interface is less than intuitive,
why the change?  The old interface was
nice, it made sense.  Now you can't poll a
module to see it's status.  The new
interface is confusing and the contextual
help is not helpful.  The help is rather
brief and difficult to navigate.  What
happened to the standard help with
navigation tree?

Now that I'm back to 3.186 everything's
working.

Did you outsource the coding of the upgrade
to India?!?!??  It looks/functions in a
vastly different manner, and not in a good
one.

[phil]

Same here . . . not able to poll two way
lamp modules and/or flip the module switch
using the mouse cursor in 3.187 .  Trying to
do so will result in a hard freeze and the
need for Ctrl/alt/delete to shut it down.
Returned to 3.186 and found polling two way
modules is working again in that version.
PD
( XPSp2 )

Upgraded and noticed that when using a
remote control (HR12A) to activate a Lamp
Module (LM465) it toggles on but it is
dimmed out 0%.  If I use the AH interface it
works fine.

:-----))

The way X10 is proceeding with 'UPGRADES'
is no longer funny.

To feed the customers oats is one thing,
but to use the stuff that's gone hrough the
horse a number of times is an outrage.
Loks like progamming is done now in outer
Mongolia by some blind herdsmen.

Another message for the black hole in the
X10 universe. We can only hope for a 'BIG
BANG!'

I am having trouble locating the latest
upgrade to ActiveHome Pro 3.187. When I tried
to upgrade from the 3.186 my system shut down
on me. When I used the 3.186, then I
encountered problems running the program. I
deleted 3.186 from ym system completely and
am looking for the new software 3.187. Can
anyone help? PLEASE???

from the very first post in this thread :
You can download the update directly from
here:
http://software.x10.com/pub/applications/acti
vehome/ahp_updt.exe

Mine (and many others too) crash when you
try to upgrade from within AHP.  This direct
link worked for me.

X10-Pro : Why are some user's upgrades
crashing when attempting the upgrade from
within AHP?

[paul mayfield]

I can't seem to to do the update, the
program just goes away. I did the manual
update and my system process for AH is at
99%. I had to unload and go back to 3.186,
good thing I had saved a backup copy. This
is the first time I have had an update
problem. My system seems to be getting
worse, I used to have to download once a
week before timers and macros quit now it
is about every other day! What is going
on....I have had this system 7 months now
and should not be having these problems. I
am not new to this, ran the CM11A flawlesly
and a CP290 before that. I am now getting
frustrated! X10 needs to get these flaws
fixed before moving on to new plug ins. I
am excited about the internet plug in but
if this thing is not going to be reliable
what good is it.
