Keith, I loaded the new driver just now on my WIN 8 machine. It loaded fine and the program opened normally although I do not have my altimeter here at the office to test its compatibility. Bob Brown

However, I don't personally own any Windows 8 machines, and my Windows 7 machine has never complained about anything that we do. So, I'm looking for volunteers to give this little driver package a try to see if it works for you. http://keithp.com/~keithp/altos-1.4/Altos-Driver-1-4-0-1.exe When you run the installer, I think it will pop up a dialog asking if it's OK to install something from Altus Metrum, LLC. I'd like to know if it does or doesn't do that, and whether the output in the cute little green-on-black window includes something like this: Microsoft PnP Utility Processing inf : altusmetrum.inf Driver package added successfully. Published name : oem110.inf Total attempted: 1 Number successfully imported: 1 If this works for a few people, I'll update the released version of 1.4 with this new key for everyone else to use. -keith _______________________________________________ altusmetrum mailing list altusmetrum@lists.gag.com http://lists.gag.com/mailman/listinfo/altusmetrum
