Try the Windows 8 drivers http://www.airnavsystems.com/download/anrb/drivers/ANRB-Win8Drivers-v2.08.30.zip

Hi jdsd, have a look at your Control Panel, Device Manager and see if your ANRB is shown there with no error symbols.

Thanks for the replies, but in device manager it shows AirNav box but looks like it has an error beside it, error message reads the drivers for this device are not installed code 28, have tried to update with no success. Any suggestions.

Was that with using the Windows 8 drivers, ensure you dont connect the USB cable till after you have loaded the drivers to allow them to finish the process after connecting.

Sorry not very pc literate could you explain fully what I need to do. Do the drivers need to be installed before I attempt to download AirNav if so advise best way of doing this as basic as you can.

No you have Airnav installed, download the drivers from the link.  They are in a zipped file so unzip to a location you can find, I would suggest you make a folder on your desktop and name if 8 Drivers.

I dont have Windows 8 but here are the instructions for Windows 7.  Click on devices and printers and you should see your Radarbox on the bottom row.  Right click on it and click on Properties.  Click on the Hardware tab and then Properties then Change Settings, then Driver, then Update Driver, then Browse my computer for driver software then direct it to where you put the unzipped drivers and finally next and the drivers should be installed thereafter.

From now totally desperate.  Windows have now found windows for device but encountered an error whilst attemping to install, shows a picture of what looks like a USB cable then airnav radar box underneath that it says 3rd party INF does not contain digital system information. We have tried another USB cable but this has made no difference, can any one please tell us what we are doing wrong (in plain english)
