What actual error or symptom to you get?

Thanks for that mate. I got the program running but still cant seem to link the Transmitter to the actual FMS. That is none of the controls seems to work. When i choose device and calibrate it, it works on that section but not on the main page.
I have a lap top running windows 7.

No scratch that. I have got it working, but cannot control the helicopters, i also cant see my model on there. Oh well the search continues.

Did you manage to resolve the issue with the helicopter Camo? I'm having similar issues :S
