Problem with Win7 and Bootloader

[Tomkfly]

I'm having problems with connecting to my Win7 PC. It was working and then PC started saying "USB device not recognised ( Code 43) ". On checking I found Bootloader had dissapeared from the list of USB devices. I uninstalled USB devices that could be relevent and then reinstalled the Taranis and Bootloader. Everthing worked for a couple of mins and then I started getting the error again. Bootloader had dissapeared again. Anyone got any ideas what could be going on?

Bad usb cable, bas usb port, or bad Taranis. The "Not recognised" message is not a software thing, but mallfunctioning hardware.
Try another cable, another port, another computer, and if that doesn't do it... it's a bad radio.

Looks like it's the USB on my PC that is the problem. Just managed to get on my Daughters Mac and everything worked. Looks like I will have to put a lappy on my Christmas list.

I should of said I'm 99% sure it was a Microsoft problem, not Taranis.
