                       Hi, i bought this programmer long time ago, i was using it on my 2 machines, XP and Vista, was working fine. I havent used it for about a year, since then i bought a new PC but it has Windows 7, i am now trying to install the driver and software but it wont do it, ???
  Is this programmer compatible with windows 7 ? Can someone help please? Thanks |

                       its coming up with this:
  Error 1303. the installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: C:Program files (X86)/ GQ USB Programmer. the installation cannot continue.Log On as an administrator or contact your system administrator.
  The thing is, this is my PC and i am logged in as administrator and i never had issues installing software, just this time!
  Any ideas please? Thanks |

                       I assume you are using 64bit windows, based on the "program files (x86) folder.
  You need to copy all those files into a folder on your desktop called "drivers"
  When you connect the programmer, in device manager right click and goto update drivers. then point it to the drivers folder yabove. this should install the drivers for you. |

   Hi, yes i am using windows 7 64 Bit. it's seems sorted now, i went to device manager, inserted the software disc that came with the programmer and installed drivers from there. It works so far.
  Thanks very much for your help, Top Man! |
