Griffin powermate windows 10 problem
« on: October 25, 2018, 04:02:07 AM »

Anyone successfully running Griffin powermate usb with windows 10? (1803) The configuration software runs nicely on windows 7, but I can't, for the life of me, get it to run on windows 10.

I have installed and ran the powermate software with admin rights, but the icon is not visible on the task bar program tray. The process itself (powermate.exe) is running.

Thanks!

Total highjack - it's cool to see people still using these, I remember when they came out years ago. I still have one floating around somewhere that I've used on & off over the years on my Macs.

I'm curious, what do you use yours for?

As for support, it looks like they don't really support it anymore ... since Windows 7! Yikes! "We hope to have a Windows update available in the future but an immediate ETA for this update is unknown at this time."  ::)

I'm using it as a VFO on my summertime-remote. Running rcforb with powermate and a couple of mouse macros to handle split operation.

I've got a couple of reports win 10 working ok, but I have a feeling that the 1803 update changed something.

Maybe an earlier driver is available which you can use with Windows 10? I use an older USB Powermate with an SDRPLay RSP1A running HDSDR on Win 7 and no issues except that the Powermate software loses application settings from time to time and so I have to reprogram it with correct sendkey actions for HDSDR.

There is only 2.01 available on griffin webpage. If anyone likes to test the software with windows 10, feel free. Hardware is not needed for test.
