Hope you will help me to solve my problem.
I have Windows 7 x32. Today opening my PcLab2000SE and pressing OK programm window does not appear on the screen, but on taskbar only. I can open it by right click on taskbar icon and choosing PSCU1000, but it shows me an information window “software runs now in Demo Mode”. Choosing Options -> Hardware setup -> PSCU1000, LPT 378, speed Normal and pressing OK I see “Could not open the DriverLINX driver. Please run INSTALL_DRV.exe to install the driver”. I read here viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8639 that DriverLINX driver is not needed for the PCSU1000, but all offered solutions didn’t help me.
I select PCSU1000 and PCGU1000 and “None” for LPT devices on the startup screen of the PcLab2000SE, but problem stays the same. In device manager PCSU1000 appears below Universal Serial Bus controllers and shows that device is working properly. I uninstalled this device and installed it again choosing as source file map I downloded from here: box.com/s/vh9olqyx3idhhxn8ujwm, but it didn’t help. Rebooting my PC didn’t help as well.

Had no problems before, yesterday everything worked ok. This freezes my graduation thesis, so I really hope you can help me.

yours respectfully
Alex.

System restore to the day before didn’t help as well. Also launching PcLab2000SE for the first time after PC restart a warning message “Other PCSU1000 may be active. Simultaneous use will cause problems. Run anyway?” appears. Reinstalling PcLab2000SE doesn’t help.

I found that everything works ok if I do Right click -> Run as administrator on PcLab2000SE. I can use oscilloscope now, so it’s no longer a problem, just a little inconvenience. But probably you know what can be the reason.
