I have Windows 7.
When I try to install the drivers for my Aeries USB Computer interface, the software from the Aeries site installs an FTDI driver that was apparently made before Windows 7. (version 1.0.2154.1)
This causes my computer to BSOD the instant I plug in the Aeries USB interface. Then, my computer won't reboot.
I go into Safe mode and delete ftdibus.sys from the Windows/System32/Drivers directory and my computer will boot again, but another device (a 30 dollar interface for a scanner radio) doesn't work without the ftdi driver.
So I install the drivers for the radio interface and it installs the latest version of ftdibus.sys (version 2.6.2) and my radio interface works properly, but the AERIS USB interface DOES NOT WORK. It shows up in my devices as "2002 Design, Inc. USB Download Interface (COM16)" but the AERIS software shows NO DEVICE ATTACHED.
I actually managed to get it to work by installing an older version (2.6.0) of ftdibus.sys from the ftdi website (Virtual COM Port Drivers), but that disables my other device. WHY CAN'T I HAVE BOTH DEVICES WORKING AT THE SAME TIME?
WHEN IS AERIS GOING TO UPDATE THEIR SOFTWARE TO SOMETHING THAT WORKS WITH WINDOWS 7? At least update the driver software with CURRENT ftdi drivers!!
It shouldn't be this difficult to download data from a dive computer that costs more than some laptops!!
