Now the ActiveHome S/W crashes...
« on: January 26, 2006, 08:45:07 AM »

A week ago I programmed the interface using
ActiveHome V3.199.  Everything seemed to go
well.  I disconnected the interface from the
computer and plugged it into a centrally
located outlet and for a week the interface
controlled modules as expected.  I wanted to
add some more commands to the interface, so
I unplugged the module, brought it to the
(XP) computer, removed the batteries
(because of 'lock-up' problems), and plugged
it into the outlet and the USB cable.  The
unit was identified.  I fired up the
ActiveHome S/W and tried to edit a module's
programing.  The S/W crashed.  I restarted
the S/W and tried to delete and add
programming to a module.  Crash again!
I'm hoping this is beginner's luck, but I'm
beginning to think this was the worst $100
I've ever spent.
Since I removed the batteries, I've lost the
programming in the interface and because the
program crashes, I can't reprogram the
interface.

PS:  I've used Powerhouse on a Macintosh OS
6-8 for over 20 years and never had these
types of problems.

I am still fighting what claims to be Active
home version 1.42     v2.0
(which seems to contradick itself)
The software will not stay in communication
with the interface more than twenty minutes.
I am running win 2000 pro and can't find
the download site at x10 to get the upgrade
you speak of.
I bought a newer version but it locked up
worse than the 1.42.  Any help would be
appreciated.
I bought Smart home and will try it as soon
as I figure out the equivilants of the
smarthome moduals to the x10.
