I bought a Typhoon and it arrived today. Have installed it into the PC, and then installed Vista Ultimate onto bare metal.
I can see the Typhoon in the device window, and the Typhoon has a pink display with the letters GX displayed, so it is basically working. But try as I might it will not allow a driver to be associated with the device.
I downloaded the drivers from the Matrix web site. They install okay, but do not associate with the Typhoon.
So I'm stuck up a gum tree without a paddle. Anyone got any suggestions?

Hmm, in taking that screenshot I noticed the Irda device which appears to be built in. That's news to me!KazMax wrote:Yes it does. I have attached a screenshot of the Device Manager showing the situation.Ray wrote:Does the device show up in the device manager?

Anyway, I disabled it and was then able to (nearly) install the driver for the GX hardware. I say nearly because the damn thing won't replace a file on the hard disk. And being Vista the security says I need admin privileges - which my logon has got!
I hate Vista with a vengeance.
So the device still isn't working. Trying desperately hard to get this sorted now.

As it is a brand new installation I reformatted the hard disk this evening and dropped Vista back onto it. Everything is working fine now. Leastways, everything I have tried thus far.Ray wrote:You should be able to right click it, point it to the matrix orbital folder in program files and you should be all good to go?
I hadn't realised that another Irda device could cause a problem of this nature. I bought the Antec case last year and never realised it had Irda built in! That was never advertised or referenced in the user guide that came with it.
