Unable to Connect error

After installing the software, pressing run results in" could not start running. Ensure your PropScope is connected. Details: Unable to Connect. Error: 0 on Com7 Last: No configuration found.
I swapped USB cables with a known good cable. The computer chimes when the USB is connected or disconnected. If I press run with the USB cable disconnected, the error message states that Propscope can't be found.
Now what?

Some things to check:
- Has your PropScope ever worked?
- What OS are you running?
- Which version of PropScope- v1.04 is the latest...
- Any odd usb devices on your system?

My laptop runs windows XP service pack 3.
The software says it is version1.0.4.
I have a mouse and 4 port hub, but the propscope won't·respond when it's the only usb device attached.
I wondered about Kaspersky, but it hasn't caused much trouble in the past.

I've taken a screenshot of my "System Properties", "Device Manager", "PropScope"- see attached. Can you take one of your system?

I recently bought also a proscope and have simulair problems.
1- when I push RUN to stop and restart, I get every time connection problems. Have to go through reset and restart in a strange way before I have the connection restored. My sysytem information is 100% AS YOUR SCREEN SHOTS.
2- When I have had such a connection problem I'm unable to set bit mode and patron mode in the logic analyser. It will work well in the DSP LSA screen
Have installed the Proscope software om two computers ( desktop and a laptop ) both running Windows XP with latest updates. In both situation the "problems are the same"
The fault ( Run/ start/stop ) applies to all run knobs for all apps. tabs.
The 'print screen' key doesn't respond, the print to file places the file somewhere, I don't know where, and a digital camera photo is 1000 k too big.·But-
The print out for the device says: "Class: USB controllers, Device: Propscope, No resources used. Device Drivers:"· The Device manager lists Propscope under the USB controllers.
I'll study your screen shots to see if I can find other differences.
Back to my previous problem. When I use F9 and F10 for start and stop there seems to be no problem. Connection is made without error messages. In the previous error situation my laptop generated a Windows XP error report in a reconnection situation.
Hope that this information give some direction to the fault situation.
The device driver window is the same as yours.
The USB list is different in the device manager:
ICH7 family usb universal host controller - 27C8
ICH7................same............................- 27C9
ICH7................same............................-27CA
ICH7.................same.............................-27CB
ICH7 Enhaunced Host controller-27CC
Propscope
root... and so on looks about the same

At last, I figured out screen shots! Ithink
Thanks for the screenshots, yes, your system looks just like mine. I'll keep working on this.

Are you saying that you DON'T get "connection" problems when you hit "F9/F10"?
And you do get a problem when you click on the "Run" button?

We were successful to get the Propscope running on a different laptop running Vista. We've uninstalled and reinstalled the Propscope software on the laptop running XP, but unfortunately we're still encountering the same problem.

Should be resolved with the latest software- see here:

I just tried 1.06 software and I'm still having problems with the Propscope. Maybe it's a firmware/hardware problem more than software, since if I select "load firmware" it always comes up and runs clean for about 30 seconds, then it looks like the signal is garbled for another 30 seconds or so, then the Propscope stops altogether. At this point if I select "load firmware" the whole sequence repeats itself. I've also tried this with the 1kHz single from the attachment board - same results/sequence.
