New Powerlogger & Windows 8

[Turbo Negro]

Can't seem to get the PL driver installed on new laptop running Windows 8. Tried the manual install procedure to update drivers, & got an error message regarding a missing or corrupt "hash file". I get the same message when trying to use the driver files that are saved to the computer, or directly from the CD. Any ideas?

Had to disable the driver signature requirement, & re-load the drivers (2) manually. That did the trick.

Very good!! For the benefit of other WIN8 users (I feel sorry for), can you explain the steps needed to disable the driver signature requirements? Thanks.

I followed this tutorial on youtube:

Hope it helps.

which version of PL did you download for Windows 8?
and can you post a link to it?

I didn't have to download it. It came on the CD from Full Throttle with the new PL. I just popped the CD in to see what version, & it doesn't say. The date modified for the application file is 2009 though, so it seems like anything since then should work.

Worked great, thanks for the info. Phil.

2009 sounds like you are using the old software. In your PL go to the Help tab on the left. Click on About on the bottom right. It should say 1.4 for the new software.

Just checked, mine is version 1.3.3

I bought it during the group purchase offer from full throttle earlier this year.
