XW-P1 editor in Windows 8?

Hey guys, i just upgraded to Windows 8 64bit (from Windows 7 64bit), and the Data Editor crashes every time i start it, while in Win7 it worked all right.

What gives? Is there some compatibility issue that i was supposed to know about ?

L.E. - i also saw that on the Casio site there is supposed to be a new version of the editor available (1.1.0.6), but after downloading it, the splash screen (the only thing that shows before the program crashes) still shows 1.1.0.1...

AFAIK the XW Data editor is only rated to run XP, Vista and Win 7 and anything in between.

Have you checked to see if Win 8 has a compatibility mode for installing and running software like Win 7 does? I know compatibility mode does wonders for old software on Win 7.

Thanks Mike!

All works peachy now.

 

L.E. - all is not yet peachy (as i've previously posted); after five minutes of fiddling with the editor, i restarted it, and it does not seem to detect the Xw-P1 anymore.

In the preference page, there is a red " failed to connect to XW-P1" message, next to the auto search check-box.

Also, if uncheck the auto search box, the Casio does not appear in the list of devices, although it is listed in Device manager without any conflict...

I've read somewhere there is a limit of USB devices that can be accessed, so i'll try unplugging a few of my other HDDs and whatnot, and see if it's some sort of resource issue, and get back.

 

Thanks a lot for the friendly support you guys are offering!

ok, after spending a few days with the issue, i unplugged all my USB devices, performed a driver clean-up to remove all the disconnected drivers, and now the XW-P1 is properly recognized by the editor again.

So all IS peachy indeed :).

Thanks!

Data Manager Manual download link is on the exact same page as the Data Manager download link itself.  Just scroll further down the page.

Why Casio didn't locate it on the same page as the rest of their manuals is a mystery to me.  :P
