www.aquariumcomputer.com the firmware is embedded in the software so once you install the software then click on firmware update and follow the very important instructions.

windows 8 is a pain you have to first deselect driver signature in security and then install a different driver.

if you need 2nd level support please create an account at www.profiluxsupport.com and GHL will direct you to the drivers as I dont have them

First make sure you have set the com port of course

Install software without lamp connected, then connect lamp and wait a few minutes

click connect, if it says cant connect then follow the dialogue box to go to device manager and make sure the driver is present, if so note the com port and then enter that into the software.

More help? sign up to the forum for correct support. thanks

To get started:
1.From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).
2.Click ‘More PC Settings’.
3.Click ‘General’.
4.Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.
5.Wait a bit.
6.Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
7.Click ‘Advanced Options’
8.Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
9.Click Restart.
When your computer restarts, select ‘Disable driver signature enforcement‘ from the list. You can now load your modified driver. Reboot again once the driver is installed and all will be well
