This product worked for me maybe twice. Now, does not work on my desktop or my laptop. Using XP. Anyone having issues? Any solutions?

Probably a driver issue since you're using XP. Check Seagate's website to see if there's a driver for XP for this HD.

Suggest you contact Seagate support. Have had no issues with the drive. Am not using USB interface, connected the device using the SATA connection directly on a Pogoplug device.

I'm sorry to hear that your drive isn't working. I am running Windows 7 Professional and the software installation, setup, and operation have been flawless. I would try going to the following site, enter your information, and then see if there is a driver there you can use. Good luck!

Does it do it every time? I think mine may have done that once or twice but definitely doesn't every time. I also haven't used it a whole lot yet either if that makes a difference to you. I would call Tech support on that one. Good luck

Gerry: I've got it installed on WINDOWS 7...but never use it. I'm using it on my WINDOWS XP (another computer) and it works just fine. I've had problems installing on "7"....and if that's the only thing you have.....good luck. I was just patient and kept at it after "7" was telling me to forgot it. But I did get a correct install.

No I kept getting the message that it was already loaded and it would not load. I had been using it on XP before that. I contacted the company and they blew me off too. Too bad because it was the best I had found for this use

Hi David---I don't know the answer myself, but I found a Microsoft website that says this works with Windows XP 32 bit only. I would want to see what other people have to say about it as well.

I've had that issue from time to time and I am able to get it to work by disconnecting the USB and re-connecting it again. Try that and then start again, once the program starts to work I leave it running until I am finished, even if it's for a few days. Also, don't worry about the picture quality on the screen viewer window...the final JPEG you save is good quality.

Greg, I couldn't find the answer on my software, but I can tell you that I have installed it on one desktop and one laptop with no problem whatsoever. I bought a second copy for a laptop I purchased later.

I have re-installed the program after a computer crash. I suggest that you email Virtual Mechanics and ask them if you can install it on both a laptop and a desktop. The folks at VM are very nice and reasonable. Keep in mind that you will have to link your laptop and your desktop or you will have different programs and changes to one will not change the other.

B. James - good question, maybe we can find the answer together: rfomeara@me.com. I am about to test the MS XP driver, if you send me an e-mail I will let you know the results.

actually, it doesn't work at all. I use it once on my PC. And it never worked again.

Not sure about XP but I have not had any problems with Windows 7. Maybe some research on the Internet might turn up something? Contacting Creative could help. Then there is always the give it a try method if you are feeling adventurous.

It works in xp home. Go ahead, be a daredevil, and risk the $7 to find out. "ASAP", what's the rush???

It worked for me. But was a bit of a pain to get it to work. Had to install a few times... Just make sure you have enough space on your computer to run the programs. And I ran a virus check on my comp before installing, to be safe. But it works beautifully for me now! Couldn't be happier! :) Don't bother asking the Microsoft people at the store to help either. They were useless. She googled my question. (Like I hadn't done that at home first) Idiots.
