Problems with FlarmTool software in Win8
Hello,
I find it impossible to run the Flarm update software (flarmtools v5.xx) on any Win8 machine, even in XP compatibility mode. The faulty item is that, in the COM port selection box, nothing appears. Thus the program can't communicate with the flarm unit, and it freezes. I tried also with an earlier version (5.08) which works fine on my oldest desktop pc, but still it freezes on the Win8 laptop. Any solutions? any means of running flarmtools on a PDA? thank you all aldo cernezzi www.voloavela.it |

But anyway, I'll try again! best regards aldo |
