Thanks.

Just spoken to an ex-Kinetic employee.

He suggested downloading the drivers direct from the FTDI site:

BOOM!!!

Thats done the trick...... I deleted them in DM, then rick click run as admin installed the drivers from that website and I do believe we are cooking on gas.

I owe you a beer Sir

Fantastic.

Looks like the drivers in the Basestation file are no good for Windows 10.

Must make a note of this.

Hi

I would say its a recent thing. I have two other Win10 installs working just fine (one is even a virtual copy of Win10 running on a Macbook) and they went on without all this flap.

So, I am guessing its a new thing that the boys in Seattle have altered.

Or maybe its to do with this new machine being a Surface? Perhaps they have a slightly different brew of Windows?

[Anmer]

You could be right.  Good to know about it and how to solve the problem.

Hi

Indeed.... thanks again.

In frustration when it looked like this was going to be a no-go, I ordered a Flightaware Prostick Dongle from Moonraker anyway, so we shall see how that goes when it gets here!
