Noah WinXP Control Panel

[MrV]

Hi ,
I purchased a Noah EX last year but have had very little time to play with it . Initially with "screen scrambled" which was solved thanks the kind folks in here ...it was a faulty PSU ... put another in , all fixed.

I'm running Noah v1.1 but I'm wondering if I didn't install it correctly?

I purchased an old WinXP SP3 laptop just to run Noah and the Noah control panel connects and seems to be working ....but ...when I look in the Noah hardware there in no hardware or hardware serial no.
The box is blank.
I think I forgot to Disable Driver Signing when I installed the 3 drivers.
Would this be a reason why it's only "kind of working" ?

As in Scope , Noah has its own folder in the WinXP C drive ...there no installed "program" as such and no evidence of drivers installed anywhere ?? Thinking that if I had to reinstall properly I should delete all traces of this previous installation first ?
I've got Revo Uninstaller in the XP system but there's no.evifemce of Noah or drivers anywhere....

Should I just reinstall it all over the top ?

Thanks , Michael

... Noah EX ...
I'm running Noah v1.1 but I'm wondering if I didn't install it correctly?

What does "seems" mean?

.but ...when I look in the Noah hardware there in no hardware or hardware serial no.
The box is blank.

You mean, in NOAH Settings > Update (page 33 in Noah Remote Editor manual), you don´t see any "version number of the operating system currently present in the Noah hardware" ?

And in the NRE´s Module Registry window there´s no hardware serial number present ?

I think I forgot to Disable Driver Signing when I installed the 3 drivers.
Would this be a reason why it's only "kind of working" ?

Disable driver signing is essential when installing the Noah drivers via software v1.1 installation process on WinXP SP3.
Ideally, ALL drivers,- USB, Wave and ASIO should install properly under Win XP SP3.
I myself got it right for my NoahEX once I had disabled driver signing.
The machine works well since then (and except the "Profit-5 bug" which seems to be set in stone).

As in Scope , Noah has its own folder in the WinXP C drive ...there no installed "program" as such and no evidence of drivers installed anywhere ?? Thinking that if I had to reinstall properly I should delete all traces of this previous installation first ?

On my WinXP SP3 Acer laptop, I installed everything into C:\Noah.
Following the path C:\Noah\Noah\IF\devices\ ... you should see all the into Noah hardware installed devices .
Following the path C:\Noah\OS\Release_1.4.23\IF\Devices\ ... you should see ´em too.
"IF" means "internal flash"(memory).
This is Noah hardware !
Do you see the Noah OS release version number ?
If not, you don´t have the latest available or a lower version Noah OS installed.

Don´t mistake Noah OS version and version of Noah Remote Editor software !

I've got Revo Uninstaller in the XP system but there's no.evifemce of Noah or drivers anywhere...

Don´t use any 3rd party uninstaller software !
I had very bad experiences w/ such tools.

With the installation of Noah software, a uninstaller is created.
This is what you use to uninstall v1.1 NRE software.

Should I just reinstall it all over the top ?

No !

When you don´t find the uninstaller,- and/or Windows XP doesn´t too,- the system is crapped out already.
I had this situation when trying to install NRE software 1.1 and drivers WITHOUT disabling driver signing on my WinXP rackmount machine,- and it stucked forever when I tried to uninstall the not propperly installed stuff.
That ruined the machine, wiped many programs from programs folder and shortcut icons of other software from desktop.

You better go and install WinXP SP3 on your laptop all new,- disable driver signing and then install Noah v1.1 incl. drivers by precisely following the instructions.

But,- for all this to be successful,- your NoahEX itself needs to work perfect.

When you don´t have the latest Noah OS installed, you only get it by reflashing the machine,- but that´s another story.
