Sound file transfer issue
Josephbw:
You may have hit the nail on the head. I do have a wifi adapter on the back of the computer. I was sure I had a USB extension cable around here somewhere, but I've looked all over for it and can't find it.
The closest thing to a computer store around here is Walmart and they don't stock that cable. I guess I'll order it online and wait. I'll check the wifi adapter and see what range it's in. Sounds like I had the perfect storm for unreliability going on. No wonder I had so much trouble.
Thanks again Tim. :)
Josephbw:
Hi Tim, it just doesn't get any better. I changed over to my w10 computer in the basement and started over with it. It's on the opposite corner of the basement and twice as far from the router, but it still works on anything else.
So I got it all set up, downloaded the 567ULT file on that HC sim, verified that it was in the right spot, and tried to load the file into an engine. I got a "No Program File" error. Tried another engine, same outcome.
It's gotten to the point where I would rather have another heart bypass operation than keep running into the same brick wall over and over.
Thoroughly disgusted Joe.

Joe, I'm sure we'll work this out. If only someone had invented teleportation by now I'd come over and help in person.
Anyway, don't take this personally but are you sure you were pressing the right combination of buttons this last time? I ask because "No Program File" is the error you get when you try to update the LM software (Tools -> Software Update -> Update Program) and you don't have the LM software in the HC / HC Sim. Since you were using a different PC is it possible that you hadn't downloaded the LM software from Ring on that machine (you only mentioned downloading the 567 Ult)?
To copy the 567 Ult file to the LM you need to Tools -> Software Update -> Copy File.
Also, what do you mean when you say "verified that it was in the right spot"?
. . .
As for the WiFi adapter on the Win 8 PC, with the adapter on the back of the PC, the CI-1 on the front and the LM also in front it's not likely to have been causing issues, I was more saying it could possibly cause some interference if you put the LM close to it by putting the loco on top of the PC case.

Perhaps not as good as teleportation, but I think we can solve this by doing a video call. Use Facetime, Zoom, or Google and one of us can connect with you and watch in real time as you go through the steps.
I think we're missing something simple here but without seeing what you're doing with our own eyes it's hard to say what it is.

Josephbw:
Thanks for the replies and help guys. I had another issue crop up and it's going to take several days to sort out, so I'm going to have to put this on the back burner until I can focus on this mess again.
