Does PIC USB work on WIndows x64?

[surei]

Hi all,

I just got my PIC USB board working. On an XP32 notebook the PIC was recognised with the bootloader loaded, and I was able to upload the PIC USB application. Then, after a reset, the device gets recognised as a USB audio device, and the driver installed properly. So I guess it is basically working correctly.

Now I do want to use this thing on a machine running x64. But now it doesn't get recognised as a USB audio device, but Windows says its a MBHP USB PIC, followed by USB composite device. It then shows the driver install dialog, but I do not know what driver I can install and how.

Hence the question:

Should this work in x64, and if, how do I get it to work?

Many thanks

Ploytec told me, that the legacy USB MIDI driver provided by Microsoft doesn't work with Vista 64bit (thats one of the reasons why they developed an own driver - but it will only work with a GM5).

I don't know, if Microsoft supports the legacy driver for the 64bit version of Win7

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hallo Thorsten,

thanks for the answer. Too bad, though! But at least it works with XP32 ;-)

Best regards

they do, in fact I've found it's the only way to use the GM5 atm under 7/64, at least on my system
