There is a video of me trying to upgrade my recently purchased PHANTOM....

I can not get the calibration software to recognize the phantom for some reason.

And when I do it tells me i have to update the main controller before i can do anything????

Please any help would be appricated.

I need to calibrate so there is no drift on my phantom

I had to disable my anti-virus before I could get software downloaded. Even after it was all working my Windows 8 sometimes does not recognize the Phantom through the USD. Rebooting my computer solves the problem. However, my older Windows 7 computer does not give me any problems so I use that one.

The first time I updated my phantom, everything went smoothly, a few days later when a newer firmware was released, I couldn't get my laptop to connect to the phantom. I was stumped, the green led was coming up showing the USB was connected, but, I read not to long before that day, of some people have connection issues with the USB cable on the led board. So I opened up my phantom, push the USB connector into the led board as best I could, and had no trouble after that.

I got the same exact thing when I first tried to use the software, I even got the (CreateProcess Failed: code 740.
the requested operation requires elevation.) code, see this tread for others with the same problem viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1923

Not correct, works fine with windows 8 (using it on bootcamp on a MBP)

but not with parallels on OSX ;-)
