Rep Power: 21 | We have some Promethean boards with becta boxes but the current bunch were installed into a specification by the lea and promethean which includes all the connections in dado trunking. It's more likely for them to be using their laptops rather than a desktop pc in these particular locations so I prefer the native usb conenction. Has anyone else had problems with XP spontaneously uninstalling the Activboard driver though? Why can't promethean get it signed? Ben |

Rep Power: 0 | Hi Ben Driver signing is coming so don't worry. The only thing that can happen if you have both connected is that if you use serial you have to reboot the board to get USB back. The USB faceplate I will mention to installations, the only problem is that if it is 2m from the faceplate to the board and someone adds a 5m cable it will not be the usb standard 5 metres and the pc will not pick it up. We have had this with some resellers installations, 7metres really does not work. |

Rep Power: 9 | Will driver signing fix that long-standing bug with the board being picked up incorrectly as a standard human interface device in XP? We've done the workaround in the past, but I've got another 9 boards going in this summer so it'd be good to know if it's fixed yet. @plexer: we run quite a few boards over usb, but drawing power from the serial bodge connector and we've not had any issues as yet. |
