Hello, TYI has just posted in the Machines & Hardware forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Dell win 7 64bit / win 8. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5739-Dell-win-7-64bit-win-8 Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** Aloha everyone, Does anyone know what the config setting is for "speed and duplex" for a dell win 7(64 bit home prem) and/or dell win 8 (64 bit) laptop? My XP finally passed and now I'm scrambling to utilize my other laptops to replace my workhorse... I've tried everything from uninstall - install DSv9 and OSv10, upgraded online, utilize the crossover cable (direct connect) vs the cat5 cables and switch method. I've gone thru the 4 different settings under 'speed and duplex' in my network adapter. My network adapter is visible. I've rebooted the laptops, turned off the switch and my XTS. and I am still getting the gray screen of death with the annoying window of "loading CSA and RSA programs..." Any help would be greatly appreciated...
