HOV

I've had the same problem, and all I can say is what works for me is a very specific sequence:

1. Run the update program. Let the update window come up.
2. Now plug in the module
3. Run the update
4. Unplug the module
5. Close the window

Have you tried it in that specific sequence?

Do you happen to know what version of .net you are running?
Many times you can just remove it, then go back out to windows update and re download it.

My hp notebook with XP Pro acts a bit funny also, but it works. I follow a similar sequence to HOV and start the program before plugging in the X2. Then I update the doo-dad, close the program, and unplug the X2.

my laptop says version 1.1 but i downloaded the newest 3.5 and im not sure if its installed or not but i did download and followed the instructions.does the x2 show up as a drive under my computer?mne doesnt show up,i can see it in device manager but it flashes and acts weird.ill keep trying,maybe they will get it workin on vista,i have a vista laptop too,but i wont hold my breath,darn vistaaaaa

HOV

If you're taking the time to look for the box under your device manager, you're making things too hard. The on/off/on/off problem happens when the box is connected without the update program running. Has the sequence I described worked for you?

There are two methods to check the existence and version of the .NET Framework. Either one of these will suffice:

Method 1
Click Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs
If "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1" appears in the list, your system meets the requirement.

Method 2
Click Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools
If "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Configuration" and "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Wizards" appear, then your system meets the requirement.

If the Framework does not appear to be installed, or the older version 1.0 is installed, you need to download and install the latest version.
Run the Windows Update via Start -> Programs -> Windows Update or visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and select the .NET Framework as an optional download.

Also, you can visit http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/ and download the ".NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package"

Found this with google.

Might try uninstalling .net via the add/remove programs and reinstall the latest .net from scratch. At this point thats all I can suggest.
