ActivehomePro will not update 3.199 to 3.201

[gary t]

As the subject notes, each time I try to update to 3.201 from 3.199 the software goes through the motions, restarts activehome and displays the 3.201 banner. 1 minute later I can start AH again and it's back to 3.199 saying I need to update. This has been happening since 3.200 came out which I guess I was fortunate that it didn't install.

other X10 equipment:  USB Lola, USB ATI remote wonder.

and no, I'm not new to x10's activehomepro. I bought this when it first came out and have suffered through all the problems from day one.

Gary: are you able to go back to 3.98? if so do that then try jumping past 3.199 If that won't work you may have to request a new program download link and reinstall save your ahx files Although I suspect it is corupt as many users files did get messed up around the 3.198 update.
You'll need your order number for each piece of the program you have.  Been there!

Thanks for the idea Tucy, I may even move the lola to the other computer as this inability started about the same time I installed it.

I found a 3.168 laying around, installed that then updated and now I'm good for 3.201 Thanks Bud!!!

I see they still haven't fixed the loading of the smart macro preferences. I set the "smart macro interface" tab to advanced, close the program restart it and it's back to wizard again. This has been screwed since smart macros came out and it's still not fixed.

Major pain in butt.

Hey I thought that was fixed!  guess not! It's been along time since I tried that!

[gary t]

Gee Whiz, I hope it's not just me seeing that.Ã, 

I'm almost positive the smart macro preferences are saved, but they're not loaded.

The main problems that I've had doing upgrades is my firewall. Since I haven't figured how to tell it X10 is ok, I've ended up turning it off for 5 minutes before doing the updates.
