There's a thread here (http://forum.aquariumcomputer.com/showthread.php?1274-ProfiLux-3-What-to-do-in-the-case-a-firmware-update-failed) which gives instructions.

I have trouble with PLC 5.1.6 down loaded sveral times and installed ( even did computer shut down and restart) but program will not run keeps coming up error entry point not found..the procedure entry point InitializecriticalsectionEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL 32.dll. Yes the three words are there with no spaces.

Ok I back up and running but 515 only for now, thanks for the help Arron and DoggyDoc.

ok, we found out that the new version does not work with XP - see my other thread to this topic

Has the 5.16 Firmware been removed from the Download section? Ive installed 5.1.6.0 without issue (Windows 7).

As an FYI, Official Support from Microsoft for XP does not end until April 8, 2014.

Interesting Jason. I also have windows 7 but wasn't able to FULLY download.

Same here. I wonder what's going on with mine. In am sure I have some hardware issue in my P3

we are again mixing topics here!

ProfiLuxControl makes trouble on XP PCs and DoggyDoc had problems with the firmware 5.16

no, this is not a hardware issue

[JasonK]

To my earlier post, i cant find 5.16 in the download section?

I believe GHL removed it from download section due to issues... But that is MY UNOFFICIAL ANSWER
