rb, I find the judicial use of the ignore button really helps in situations like this. There was a certain person who I think may have moved to Prague that rubbed me the wrong way. My happiness on the forum was enhanced when I saw posts being blocked. Rudeness doesn't merit more the way it has been done here. The message was communicated, then piled on and on. It was painful for me to read all the posts. Enough, please?

He moved to VU.:rolleyes:

I don't have a radius or a P3, just the 2.5's and I never check to see what my battery level is at, when it starts blinking I change it. When I get a Radius I will most likely do the same thing, but if it lasts me all day one a charge, then I would just charge it over night like a lot of people are doing. :2c:

When I'm leaving the house I check the battery level no matter what device I'm using (except a Reo). If it's below a certain point I will put in a new battery or charge it. With a Reo I just put in a new battery.

I could have sworn I got the same message about the drivers not installing. However, I just said screw it and clicked on version 19 anyway, and it worked. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate, btw.

Thanks--but I never even get the choice to click the update--nothing ever comes up for the update.

One question - after you connected the Radius, did you press the fire button as suggested by @Vape360?
Some additional things to try: do you have a different USB cable you can try to connect the Radius to the computer?
Can you try plugging the Radius into a different USB port on the computer?
Lastly, can you right click on 'My Computer' and select 'Manage', then click on device Manager. In the right panel, click on the arrowhead (triangle?) to open the list of USB ports and verify that they are all enabled?

Those would be where I would start my search. The device Manager should show something like what is pictured below, if everything is enabled.

Thank you-- I did press the fire button as suggested. I will try a couple different USB cables--good idea. I appreciate your tips and will do all of it. Thanks!

Oh my dear, I know you weren't being rude or telling me to shut up. I was translating loosely, but it is what I should do with him. He manages to bring out the worst in me and I should, by now have learned to ignore him. Somehow though, I'm just not good at ignoring rudeness. No I'm not.

Shut up. Everybody just shut up and listen to me.

The one supplied with the Radius is a data cable. Regular ones won't work. :)

I was there once, was unimpressed, and came back here. :)
I see a lot of people over there that were banned from here and found a happy home.... speaking for myself I was a member over there before coming here, (and still am), plus several other forums to boot...

I'm not sure if this will help but somewhere in this thread I posted/tested that the R will fire down to 3.1V and of course Professor Zen ran the same tests with three different chargers and his results have more numbers :) after the decimal point.

I can respect what the Mothership is trying to accomplish with the R but for me "polling" the bat with a resultant icon never makes me feel warm and fuzzzzy. All my mods but... I love the 2.5 CB which just looks at the bat when you hit the menu option and tells you the remaining V. One look. One number. A zillon clicks /lol /joke but I love it. It's interesting that the very very latest DNA 40 chip flashes a low batt or it may have been week bat on the screen to alert you. I have no clue what threshold that feature is set to but it is handy.

I actually use the same technique as our resident "TO" /lol and it's become second nature so I don't even think about it. I'm sure the day will come (my guess) when these mods begin to talk to us and issue an audible alarm. :) Siri for the R comes next. /joke

Those that were not banned left cause they got mad & took their toys to another playground.
