I sent this email to OWI Robotics:
The AMAZING reply:
I feel that I'm not going to get much further with OWI Robotics so wondered if anyone else here could make a suggestion.
Further Info:
It runs fine on XP Pro, and Vista. I cannot remember if it ran on Windows 7. The machine I want it to run on is Windows 8 ONLY.
I'm running a sfc /scannow as I type - I'll post results (if that's any use or help - Not sure).
Thanks
I have the Robotic Arm with USB interface and it works very well on all my other computers but I cannot get the driver to install on Windows 8.
I have tried using compatibility mode for other Windows versions but still no joy.
Even direct attempts to load the driver fail (it says the file is corrupt.
I also have downloaded your 64 bit version from your site Robotic Arm Edge 64-bit Support.rar(several times) - same result.
Suggestions please.
Thanks
The AMAZING reply:
Currently the USB Interface does not work with Windows 8. We made this decision when it was clear that the operating system had many problems and was widely panned by critics. I would suggest using Windows 7, Vista or XP. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Best,
