    But I found out it was about time to do some Investment in time, and eventually see if some new features could be of interest, so I today downloaded the V1026, connected to the master and started the firmware update.

    At step 4/5 the process seems to go on forever, or maybe it is halted?

    Anyway, after about 20 to 25 minutes my patience is about empty, so I aborted the update.

    Is there anything that can fix this, or do I have to let it run for even a longer period?
    I've had the same problem, I just cancel after resetting the lights. Reconnect and the firmware is up to date, so it seems to take even though the program gets stuck on 4/5 of the install process. I also have better luck with USB 2.0 as opposed to 3.0.

    The whole thing should only take about 2 minutes per lamp, I did notice on the current update that the screen that says to reboot the lamp then press next didn't appear until I clicked the mouse on the screen whereas with all the other updates it came up automaticly.

    It is step 4/5 with the following text:

    The update is in progress...

    Don't interrupt the update in any case

    Please wait until the update has been completed

    Update completed! Press "Next"

    Just now I am doing a third test. For the first time the NeXT button is active during this step. at the first two attempts only the abort was active.

    It seems like the process is going now without any stops or messages. But the lamps are still set at FW Version 1.05.

    if you follow exactly the instructions the update wizard gives you the update should work without issues

    if not: check if the update driver has been installed correctly

    in step 2/5 the Mitras is in the download mode and the download driver must be active

    -> read step 2 exactly, follow the instructions

    -> check the driver (click device manager)

    I have followed instructions exactly, driver is installed because that is how I find the COM port. It still hangs on 4/5, however like I stated before when I reconnect the Mitras the firmware is correct.

    As mentioned in my earlier thread I was so stupid to buy a win8 PC...

    I cannot follow this advice I am sorry to say.

    I made an effort in following the advice of Haxer100 to deactivate electronic drivers to see how this could be of help this time also, but this did not activate any similar to the described LPT & COM settings that is none existing in my Device Manager setup.

    Combining Mitras and win8 seems to be a combination that is not for anyone else thanhighly educated PC-nerds

    @NorwayEagle,
    When I get home from work I will look into this a little further for you....

    Post a screen shot of what you do have in your Device Manager screen while you are trying to update the lamps...
