In the second log, the access to picopp.inf is there, towards the bottom after it has discarded all the other inf files.
I'll wait to hear from you about the registry, I'm beginning to wonder if my window's set up is slightly corrupted. However this sort of thing is hard to be certain of so I'd appreciate it if you could find out more for me.
I received my PicoScope 3206 today.
I have a Toshiba Satellite 5205-S704 laptop running Windows XP Pro. I am having the same problems as described. I tried installing all the latest software from the web site and still it could not find the drivers. I deleted the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\Vid_0ce9&Pid_1001
and tried reinstalling, nothing seems to be working. I was wondering if jald 's problem got fixed and if so what he changed to get it working.
No, my problem with the drivers is still not fixed. I assumed that this was because my windows installation is corrupted in some way. My PC is due to be replaced soon, (a work PC), so I'm waiting until then to see if the problem "goes away". If not then I'll have to return the part.
Jald.
Is the file picopp.inf in your C:\windows\inf folder? If not then you need to reinstall the software. If it is there then try manually pointing the wizard to this file/folder and see if this helps. If not I can send you my copy of picopp.inf and you can see if this helps.
Please send me your copy of picopp.inf. I believe that is where the problem is. For some reason the ID is not getting matched with the ID in the inf. I am not sure if the &Rev_0000 could be causing this. So I would like to try your copy. Thanks
I finally got my PicoScope to work, I took the inf file that sarah sent and the inf that Michael from tech support sent and determined the problem. The DriverVer was missing from the Version Section in Sarah's INF and the date format was not right from Michael's. The Date format must be in mm/dd/yyy and not dd/mm/yyyy. So I changed this line, deleted the old picopp.inf and .pnf files and reconnected the scope. The scope was recognized and it installed properly. I have pasted the INF code that I used below, hopefully this will help jald as well.
Thanks for the help.
