Sure that CT6.00 doesn't work with Beo5?

17 replies

I installed CT6.00 on my Windows 7 64-bit just to see the changes from CT5.12. I'm wondering why B&O would have made a new menu especially for the Beo5 in the CT, if the Beo5 isn't supported?

Take a look:

I'm reffering to the information in these treads:

I just want to make sure, that I won't mess up my Beo5 by trying to use it with CT6.00.

Just a little clarification about 64 bit,

  • The Version 6.0 and above Configuration Tool can be installed and update a Beo6 on 64 bit Windows operating system.
  • The Version 6.0 and above Configuration Tool can be installed on a Windows 32 bit operating system and fully supports the Beo5, BUT not 64 bit because there is no 64 bit USB receiver in the Beo5 firmware. If you do connect a Beo5 to a Windows 64 bit system, the driver for Beo5 will fail to be installed.
  • When the Beo6 has been upgraded with the new software, it can no longer be configured in a version 5 or older version of the Configuration Tool.

Thanks Keith! Sad, that the 64 bit support is missing with Beo5, but at least I will still be able to use CT6.00.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Keith, would appreciate your expert assistance.

I have CT 6.0 installed on a Windows7 64 bit Hp. Have successfully built and saved my Beo6 configuration within the CT. No errors in completing either the pc install or the subsequent "validation/serialization" on the CT.

When I get to the final step "upload" it is whited/greyed out.

Did a hard reset and full recharge of the Beo6. The finalization button is still inactive.

CT 6.0 does recognize the remote. The serial number is present in the upper left of the panel;

Do you have any advise on How can I get this button to become active?

Thank you

joe

If the "Download is greyed out, then the Beo6 is not dedected normally because the USB driver is not loaded or it failed to load correctly

The fact that the Configuration Tool recognises the serial number just means the Configuration Tool has previous seen this Beo6 perhaps from a previous version loaded.

With the Beo6 connected to the USB port go into "Device Manager" in Windows.

To do this press START then click CONTROL PANEL then click SYSTEM AND SECURITY

Under the heading SYSTEM you will see a link called DEVICE MANAGER click on this and a new window will open with the configuration of your PC

In the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" section should be the Beo6, if it has a ! mark next to it or it ia marked as "Unknown" then the driver is not loaded and you will need to load it manually.

Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it.

I went into Device Manager and I had a "?"

not a "!" Next to a listed  "Beo5".

Im not sure why my Beo6 is being detected as a Beo5?

Does it make any difference?

The default driver was blank but is now manually installed. The default file found by Windows7 is a 32bit file: Beo5Usb.sys.

Is there a Beo6usb.sys file available for 64bit?

or can I proceed to use the 32 bit file for the Beo5?

Thanks

joe
