i am using windows 7, the esc lights up and all. i tried searching and re-installing the drover software but i still cannot get it to work. why is there not just download for the driver on castles site?

Hi Kase (Cheese head??)

Sorry, for Mamba Max controllers, you will need to use a Windows XP machine and update the Mamba Max firmware before it will work with Windows Vista 64 or Windows 7.0. The problem is with the driver on the Mamba Max itself -- it will not work with the new Windows Vista 64/7.0 HID driver.

Once the firmware is updated, you will be able to connect to the Mamba Max using a Castle Link -- but the on-board USB will not work correctly with Windows 7.0 or Vista 64.

Thanx!

Patrick

No, the MMPro works just fine on Windows 7 and Vista right out of the box. The Mamba Max works fine too -- just needs the software update on XP before it will work on Windows 7 and Vista.

ok, so i updated the driver on my xp comp....now the 3.19 castle link does not run. it says "fatal error and cannot connect to database" this is getting annoying.

and the 3.19 will not reconize it on my winows 7 ether, even after updating the driver.

I'd suggest you call tech support -- they can walk you through the setup.

You are using a Castle Link right?
