Hello Alan,
I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you,I have tested the USB lead,that is fine,I deleted the program,and reinstalled again from your link,the problem of 'No hardware connected' still exists,once again I have sent two attachments for you to see if all is ok Alan.
I do believe that drivers for Windows 10.1 were needed,correct me if I'm wrong.do they appear in either of the two attachments Alan?
I wish that it was black & white what the problem is,because,I would imagine Alan, by now,you must be cheesed off with my lack of knowledge about this program! I'm still adamant,that one way or another to get this up and running.
Kindest regards,
Graham.
