I bought the GQ-4X, ran fine on WinXP. Now I tried to move to a new Win7 machine, followed instructions, and cannot get it to install. The main program installs then I get a "Did not get response from programmer. Demo only." message after I plug in the programmer and start the program. I get the green "on" light on the programmer. I downloaded the USB driver, thinking that might be the problem (even though the instructions say I shouldn't need to) and went through the really awkward new manual process of "hdwwiz" and point it to where I unzipped the driver files, the 32 bit version, and windows tells me the set of files is not complete and dumps me out. I give up, what is the secret trick? You claim this is Win7 compatible, so tell me how I can get it to go.

Well, I tried one more pass through Windows, tried to force a driver update, and it worked. BUT, now I have what looks like really, really bad news: the unit itself appears to be faulty. On reading any 27256 EPROM, data looks good from 0-3FF, reads FF from 400-7FF, good from 800-BFF, FF from C00-FFF and so on. If I try to program an Atmel 29C256 flash chip, it either doesn't program the 400-7FF, C00-FFF etc ranges or won't read them out.
What now? |

| I really need some help here. I recently had to reformat my computer. Prior to that, my gq4x worked well. Now I can't get it to recognize the unit and I get the same message. Any ideas? I've installed and reinstalled and done everything everyone here has recommended. I'll be getting a new computer (mac with parallels) in a few days as well, maybe I should just wait till then? Thing is, I need it for a customer! Any ideas would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance! |
