Default PLX Devices, anyone else running these??

Anyone else here in Socal running a DM100 or 200 from PLX? If so, do you have the desktop utility working with XP on a laptop? Vista is killing me!!!!!!!!

I just purchased 2 DM100's and some modules... haven't received them yet.

Are you having trouble running the software? =\

The software doesn't work on Vista and PLX isn't going to have a fix anytime soon. Whatever you do, don't try and load custom wallpaper with the DM utility with Vista because it will erase the backgrounds you have and give you a white screen.

Yeah I know, but I tried my old laptop with XP and it gives me an error when running the setup tool so the utility won't load. This is killing me.

I know huh? I wish PLX would have put something out because they knew about the problem, yet it isn't posted on their site. Oh well, gauge still works, just it is white and the other two are black.

Vista is garbage. Dumb Microsoft, thought is was gonna be the wave to the future. Hope the new OS Longhorn isnt just as bad.
