PIGEON_MAN Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 There's a problem with people who are using Vista, Unikon are sorting it out now. I have vista had no problems at all.Spoke to Ray Knight the other week told me that there would be no need to download new drivers,once the programme had been reloaded by unikon onto the website after the first time it was on there should be no problems,I must admit Icame back home after speaking to him and it loaded up no trouble.

PIGEON_MAN Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 This may be of use to someone,I noticed that when downloading to the base etc my laptop chose the wrong com port it chose 1 instead of 3 so it wouldnt download, if you go onto the drop down arrow where it says the com port number make sure its saying the one you have the cable connected to.

Williedoo Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Well, half way through the weak and no CD from Unikon,wonder if it will arrive by Saturday as their e.mail said we would get it weak beginning 23rd March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE FIFER Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 This may be of use to someone,I noticed that when downloading to the base etc my laptop chose the wrong com port it chose 1 instead of 3 so it wouldnt download, if you go onto the drop down arrow where it says the com port number make sure its saying the one you have the cable connected to. yes we had that,and sorted it, but still no go, keeps coming up red, I think any updates required should be brought out long before this, we have all the winter months to sort out problems, members want their clocks and ring registration now, but we cant do anything, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompey Mick Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Major problem, ran a dummy race over the last 24hrs for 3 way test, will not print times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a bag of sh**, why dont the c--ts get it sorted earlier in year. Did you update the loft clock before running the race, I had the same problem when I ran a dummy race and put the pocket clock in the base, which was then updated. I 'clocked ' a pigeon and no time was shown on the print out. I did another dummy race after and all was OK. Unikon do say that base clocks must be updated before racing. I do agree with your sentiments on the timing, much too near racing for my liking, doesn't give a chance to sort out any problems. Trouble is the majority of members dont get the hassle only the poor ETS administrators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
