Hello Dan,
you seem to be in contact. Maybe you know:
Is there a timeline as to when an adequate support for the GMFC Hard and Software will be available.

Best regards

Running it on a 32bit WIN 10 also seems to work. I also tried installing it in a Win11 64bit in a virtual maschine - no problem.

Strange problem.

I think this happened after I upgraded to Win 11 from Win 10. Both versions the Splash Screen loads the a pop up win, error GMFC Initialization problem.. If I click OK, it unloads and we go again. So pretty sure it's either a Win11 driver change issue or GMFC needs to be updated for Win 11. I think I tried to reinstall as well, not sure about that. Has not been a problem but it shouldn't be happening.
have you tryed with standard things like "run as admin, run for win 7 (10)" etc ?

danielphantom Can you go back to an earlier version of windows? Using system restore or possibly another method? I'm no expert, I still have windows 10 and haven't gone to 11.

If you saved your license number in email or elsewhere, you may be able to get back in action.

thanks Daniel. I have 4.0.6 since 2021. It must have been some MS recent update that prevents the app from starting. Re-installing doesnt help, same problem.

Unfortunately the application doesn't run anymore. Tried with AV disabled, driver signature disabled,safe mode.... nothing helps.
Feeling disappointed, unfortunately Giles passed away and nobody seams to truly maintain this application. It would be great to open source it. A lot of people will for sure contribute to improve it.
Go here and download your version...

Somebody with too much money bought the rights from Gilles before he died and destroyed Gilles his lifework.
Hope Paul realizes this and sells it to someone that can go on with Gilles his work.

A monthly update would be nice. How have we gone almost 2 yrs without hearing anything directly?

I have the software but need the License code or is there a work around to get the software functional.

Thanks

Just email Paul with the GMFC code and he will issue you a license. He has a real day job so it will be fast or might take a while.
