Hi, I’ve been attempting to get BM studio up and running again now that summers back, and the new version will not work on my new Windows 7 installation, Its 64 bit. I’ve also tried it on another windows 7 machine with the same issue: After the studio and drivers are installed(manually and with the installer program) I open the studio, and the ComPort selection dropdown has dozens of blank spots. I cannot select a ComPort because there is nothing to click on. When I hit connect, the program gives an improper argument error.
I had this working last summer, and I’d like to have a legacy version of this program to see if it will work; Do you know which version was current at around August-september last year?
(of course any fix or info on what I’m doing wrong would also be appreciated)
I have not tried it yet on a window 7 64 bit machine. I installed 32 bit Windows 7 on my main machine… But do have a new portable that I believe is the 64 bit install and may try it there…
FYI - I just installed build 2.0.0.11 on an HP portable with Win7/64 bit. It did not like the Basic Micro drivers, so I followed the steps mentioned in the post by Nathan (Acidtech) on how to load the original FTDI drivers and it now works. My previous post here has a link to the Basic Micro Forums link with the info. There is also a sticky post in this forum as well.
Note: Since Nathans posts on this, FTDI has released updated drivers with a new version number, so you will need to browse in the download section for the appropriate VCP driver file
