Yep! Me too..
Same error.
Unable to connect controller to laptop using listed driver.
Laptop is running Win7 64 bit SP1, tried using compatibly mode too.
USB stick does appear to work with the software, but as the software looks as if it designed on run on Windows 3.11, it's difficult to work out what is going on.
EDIT: by reading another post on this forum, I have discovered I made a mistake, I had the USB Stick end of the link lead in the controller, and not in the laptop. My bad.. Still a newbie.
I did get the error message though. It does seem to work, painfully slowly.
I Stand by my comments about the look & feel of the software.
Another message I read on the forum requested a software emulator / visualiser.. Now that would be a useful thing..
