3 Trouble shooting – What to do, if...
3.1
Incorrect start of the installation
The installation program does not start
You have no administration rights. In this case, please refer to your administrator.
Should this not be the cause of the error, maybe the AutoPlay of the CD-ROM drive
is not activated. Therefore, please start the installation manually in the Windows
Explorer (CD_Start.exe).
3.2
Wrong version of MS .NET Framework
The installation program reports error ‚Falsche Version von MS .NET Framework’:
The cause for this error is the faulty installation of MS .NET Framework or the
installation of the wrong language package. We recommend a complete new
installation of MS .NET Framework 2.0 or download of the latest MS .NET
Framework 2.0, respectively the latest language package.
3.3
No hardware found
During the configuration the error ‚no hardware found’ appears:
In this case, please check the USB connection to the PC-interface. If necessary, the
USB cable must be exchanged. If this is not the cause of the error, we ask you to
check the proper installation of the device driver. It is possible, that the driver must be
installed manually via the device manager. Once the device driver is properly
installed, please disconnect the PC-interface. First reconnect the USB cable and then
the power supply.
If this is not the cause, please connect the PC-interface directly to an USB port of the
PC and not to an USB HUB. If you have already connected the PC-interface to an
USB port and the error still appears, please connect the device to another USB port.

3.4
Configuration not effective
During the configuration the following error appears: ‚Konfiguration nicht erfolgreich’:
Please check the USB – PC-interface connection to the Display. The control and the
bus connection to the display must be existent.
If this does not fix the error, please check if the number of Displays of the DMD
configurator corresponds with the number of adjusted displays in the user interface.
Another reason for this error could be a not connected hardware (see 3.3)
