Fishmanoz Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hi Benolt, try it again, a few times if necessary (mine worked second time). Problems with firmware updates are relatively common and there doesn't seem to be any logic in who gets them to work and who doesn't or how. Make sure you get the port right by checking it in device manager. Make sure you run as Administrator. Remember that you don't have to download the driver again, once is enough: except of course if you try to do it from another computer, which is something else you can try. In fact, if you have a friend who has been successful, try it with their computer. You'll find lots of other threads on this problem in this forum. The most recent is I think from Gordon Big Boy who took his Elite to Hornby and was told that they use 2 particular computers because it works on them.

Gregd99 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I have also had occasional problems with elite upgrades. I have probably done more upgrades than most and the failure rate is low. anyway..... Whenever I have had a problem I have been able to load new firmware by starting the load process from the beginning again. Give it a go. let us knwo how you go. btw I used to live in Antwerpen and developed a taste for the well-balanced Belgian diet of friets (chips), beer (dentegems and duvel!), waffles and chocolates!

96RAF Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Having probably done as many upgrades as Greg on various Windows platforms I can only say to B62 keep trying, as often it takes more than one attempt to sort out an upgrade. Frites - oh the memory of pulling into a French aire for a mid-day snack when caravanning over there. Belgian beer I remember as funny shaped glasses 1/2 full of lager and 3/4 full of froth. but very nice. Chocolates - don't start... Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2e0dtoeric Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 1/2 full of lager and 3/4 full of froth -- ?? won't fit! 1/2 + 3/4 = 1 and 1/4 ! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregd99 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 It fits. it just needs enthusiasm. for those interested each type of beer has its own distinctive glass in Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
