AHP changes since upgrade

[dcuste]

I have been using my AHP with a CM15A since Feb 2011. Recently I had a hard drive crash on my PC and had to reload XP and all the AHP software. I also installed the latest update along with the smart macros. I decided to make some minor changes in to some macros and everything looked like it was working until I tried to "download  timers and macros". As I remember there is a progress bar in the lower left hand corner of the main page that shows how the download is progressing. Now all I get is a little icon that when I rollover it just says "downloading" with no other indication what is going on. This never seems to finish and finally when I pull the USB connector out of the PC, the progress bar shows up with about 95% complete. I've redone the download and everytime the same thing happens. I haven't tested the CM15A completely, but some functions are working. Is this a known bug with the upgraded software?

What version of AHP are you using?

[dcuste]

3.316

Try going back to 3.310.  It should not affect the plug-ins.   Most versions of AHP past 3.310 seem to have problems.  Try doing that and see it it works.  I ran 3.316 for a short while (no plug-ins, don't need them) and discovered what you found.  Went back to 3.310 and everything works, which is what everybody wants:  Not making the user jump through hoops

That appears to have done the trick. Thanks.

How does one go back to 3.310?

If you can't find it from here, drop me an e-mail and I'll e-mail 3.310 back to you, I have virtually every version from 3.175 to 3.316 on a 250MB ZIP disk.

Thanks Dan, Think I found the problem for now. Check my post in the mobile phone part.

If you go to the AHP Revision History page (http://www.x10.com/support/rev_ahp.htm), there are links to download a lot (not all) of the older revisions.

Oh boy, I'm still using v3.228!

Should I update?

You can, but certain people here will tell you they had bad experiences with newer versions. (Most people were fine with it).
If you have any older (non-SoftStart) dimming modules), you'll need to re-define them in AHP using items from the "Old Lamps - no softStart" category. That only takes a few minutes to do.

When you update, do you first update the AHP and then each plugin, or does the AHP update do everything + plugins?

The Update link says it does AHP and any installed plug-ins.
