• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

IbeatII and Windows 7

Semco says it works on some Windows 7 not on others? It loads everything and I get an icon on my desktop it just wont open. Says Diagnostic Tool has not normaly installed on this computer.
 
I have it on a 32bit XP Home edition laptop for use on the bikes, works fine. Works fine on 32bit Vista but gives the same error as Droolsport on 64bit Vista. Is your OS 64bit?
 
So likely is a 32/64 bit issue........ good to know. I don't think the garage computer will be that fast anytime soon tho.......
 
I'd find an XP machine to use. It would be much less aggrevation and they're not expensive and many of them.
 
I do not have any Windows 7 but I do have separate 32 bit and a 64bit Vista rigs. iBeat works on my 32bit Vista rig and a 32bit XP rig but not on my 64bit Vista rig. My conclusion is iBeat will not run on a 64bit OS.

Droolsport, is your Win7 64bit?
 
You can right click on the program, and click properties and select compatibility tab, and try running it as XP. You're probably safe selecting Service Pack 2. See if that works. I don't know anything about the software, but I know that compatibility mode has worked on other programs for me.

Also on that tab, you can select to run it as Administrator. I recommend checking that as well.
