do is possible that beo5 configuration tool won't work with windows 7 64 bit? is there an updated version?

 

 

You are correct that the Beo5 Configuration Tool will ONLY work on 32 bit Windows operating systems.

There is currently no update..

Is your Beo5 recognized by the device manager?

If so, and still the Beo5 service tool doesn't recognize the Beo5, it is because of the driver certificate.

I did this.

Press F8 to start windows 7 with the option "use drivers without cerificate". Then the Beo5 config tool works.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

Here's my device manager.

You'll have to use Windows XP mode and then install the configuration Tools.

It's work with this mode, the only thing you'll have to do is to connect the USB during the transfer.

Thanks. Bedankt.

It works fine, update firmware and configuration done.

hi,

just wait a few days....

B&O announced a new Config Tool for week 18/19....

there should be a new FW (v3) for beo 5/6 an dthe SW should

work on windows7 64bit....

The only thing to be done is, to upgrade the FW V3 on a 32bit system,

after that it will be recognized on a 64bit system....

Hi,

 

are there any news to the new version? Is it already available?
Is there any link to download?

im a bit impressed that you run Windows 7 on just 1Gb ram (!) and with that small amount of memory there is no need for windows 64-bit. If you have less than 4GB ram, then 32-bit OS is absolutely enough. 

Perhaps a bit off topic but thats how it is anyway :) 

But, of course, Mac is better anyways ;)

Hello,

the new ConfTool V6 is launched with the new FW V3.

It works with the Beo6 together on 64 bit Systems.
