Hi all,

Having an absolute 'mare since receiving my TTR2 yesterday; it's fine on the bike but it won't connect to TT Home (and Tyre can't see it either). I've tried a few things on my own and been guided through a few things by TT tech support. In summary, I've:

- fully charged the unit
- reset the unit
- made sure I have the latest TT home
- made sure I have admin rights
- disabled the firewall
- run the TT registry cleaner utility
- tried different USB cables and ports

but I still don't get the prompt I'm supposed to get from the unit when I hook it up (that "I've found a computer; do you want to connect?" prompt). All I have is a picture of the unit with a USB cable inserted.

TT support are adamant that anti-virus and/or firewall software are blocking it, as Windows *can* see it; it shows up as drive E:, a mass storage device. I'll try again at home tonight with all that stuff switched off. If that doesn't fix it, I'm utterly stuck. Any ideas?

Yes mate, it does. I can see it as a removable disc in "My computer". BTW, I have also switched off the anti-virus software and the firewall, and I still can't use TTH.

If Widows Explorer can connect, its got to be the home software, I would try uninstalling it, then restarting the PC and then after it has booted back up, reinstall home and see how that work and try and reinstall with the newest version too

What OS, Antyi-Virus and Firewall do you use? Is the Rider connected to a built-in USB port or USB hub?

XP Home, AVG and Zonealarm. I've tried connecting it to several different USB ports on the back of the PC; not via a hub. I've even tried with the a/v virus software and the firewall completely off... no difference.

I have a deep seated hatred for ZoneAlarm, even when it claims to be 'OFF' it isn't, some .dll's are still loaded and can and do cause issues. Do you have another PC you can try it on or are you prepared to uninstall ZoneAlarm to test?

I suppose I could uninstall Zonealarm, although I'm having the same problems with this unit on my work laptop, which is running Symantec anti-virus and some other 3rd party firewall. I'll uninstall it now and try again...

No joy, I'm afraid... I uninstalled Zonealarm, rebooted, switched the Windows firewall off and tried switching the unit on after starting TTH but I still don't get the "do you want to connect?" dialog on the unit and TTH still can't see it Sad

Strange that it mounts on the desktop, clutching at straws here but have you tried a soft reset?

If that's the procedure of sticking a paper clip in for 20 seconds, then yeah, I've done that.

I don't have Windows Defender mate; just AVG and Zonealarm. I've tried the following:

1) Given TTH full rights in Zonealarm
2) Disabled Zonealarm
3) Uninstalled Zonealarm.

Cheers,
Tarby

some programs need to run as administrator, is your account in xp an administrator and can you set the short up to run as administrator or is that just Vista?

Yeah, you can do it on XP; right-click and choose "run as". Unfortunately, I *am* an administrator... Sad
