so i got this new pc with windows 7...downloaded emplode...installed it and the little flashlight just keeps going back and forth when i try to find my rio car.

this worked fine under windows xp

EDIT: did some snooping around here and instead of using USB used ethernet and it found it just fine....my pc and player are like peas and carrots again!

No problems using emplode over USB on Windows 7 here.

The USB driver included with emplode 2.00 works fine on 32-bit Windows 7. It will not work with 64-bit Windows. If you're in this situation, use Ethernet. If you've got an empeg mk1, keep a 32-bit version of Windows handy.

Edit: as Shonky says, you can run x86 (32-bit) Windows on an x64 (64-bit) PC. You need to check your system properties to find out if your Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit.

If you've got less than 3GB of RAM, there's little point in running 64-bit Windows, but lots of people do.

Yup, unfortunately. There are some things you can do if you need to connect to the empeg's serial port.

That doesn't matter (well doesn't conclusively prove if it's a 64 bit OS). What matters is if you are using a 64 bit operating system. You can quite easily run 32 bit Windows on a 64 bit CPU - and millions do.

Good. Ethernet's faster anyway.

I use Window 7 - 64bit.
I sync over Ethernet using j-emplode (seems much more stable than emplode) and serial via USB to serial adaptor.
Both seem to work fine.
