Greetings,
I installed something recently that made my RW stop functioning, and could not get it functioning properly regardless of what I did. It's the same thing expressed here so many times and I've isolated it to something very strange/wierd.
Newer Jungo WinDriver versions will render the RW/systray application USELESS. If you hit Windows Update and look in the hardware, you'll see an entry for WinDriver update. DON'T INSTALL IT. Also, check any new USB/PCI devices to make SURE they do not bundle their drivers with ANY version of WinDriver.
Installing a newer/incompatible version of this will render the RW devices still functioning in the device manager, a red-light on the tranceiver and all.. but the systray icon will not load and the device will NOT work. You'll have to roll back to the bundled WinDriver version, which wont un-update once the version on the PC has been upgraded.
Ugh.. This has been a source of grief without knowing it in the past for me. Now I have a simple thing to check/work on. Any insights or people knowing specific revert versions to help others, I'd love to hear it.
This may be the insight why the X10 older driver works for some people. Does it bundle/force an older WinDriver install? Strange stuff..
