Hacking G6 U-Disk & Windows Vista

[eeek78]

Is anyone else having trouble running G6 U-Disk Manager under Windows Vista? Or, is anybody successfully running G6 U-Disk on Vista? Mine crashes right after selecting the drive of my G6 Lite.

I've never had a problem with it on Vista. I've been using the final as my main OS for weeks.

I think it depends on what version of Vista you are using. When I was running the Beta 2 version of Vista the same thing happened on my computer but since the RC1 beta this issue seems to have gone away. If you are running version RC1 or better then it may be hardware related. When you install programs make sure you right click and choose 'run as administrator' to assure you have administrator rights during the install. This may or may not help.

Good luck.

I'm having issues with the U-Disk Manager as well. I'm running Vista Ultimate Retail and all it does is allow me to select my drive and then it craps out on me.

I'm attempting to downgrade the U-Disk manager to 4.6c to see if that works.

EDIT: 4.6c craps out too.

This is the info vista dumps out as to what is causing the issue... not sure if anyone can decypher it.

Edit #2: None of the Compatability modes work, nor do the options below the compatability. Some won't let me choose the drive, while others let me before it dies. I thought maybe it was an issue with the program selecting a USB drive, but it still craps out when selecting a HDD.

I'm having the same problem as above. I'm gonna uninstall and re-install one last time and see what happens, but so far nothing's worked.

Humm RUN THE G6 Manager in WINDOWS XP COMPATIBILITY MODE LOL

 

[Omnigamer]

Humm IT DOESN'T WORK LOL

 

[GBA_Temper]

huh how dosnt it not work in xp compatibility mode.....?

 

[Omnigamer]

The compatibility changes are having no effect.

 

[GBA_Temper]

Oh hmm...Well I will try to think of something to help it start working.....

 

[tanooki]

err... are you dual booting and just trying to run the program from maybe your old windows xp install....?

 

[Omnigamer]

I've uninstalled and re-installed the software a number of times, and have cleared the directory every time of all left over files each time. The only thing left that I can think of is that the User Account control (Allow/Deny popups) is currently off, although I don't imagine that actually affects anything.

Hello
I also had problems with u-disk crashing on me and after a week of sniffing i discovered a workaround for me, but this may also serve others. here it goes: when you start g6 manager select first another drive, as to be removable, like an Sd Card reader or such, dvd drives and hard disk dont work, then the g6 it will give an error saying that there is no drive, then select the g6 and the program works

best regards

Thanks for the solution!!!!! And, here's another alternative for those who doesn't own a Card Reader:

1. Start G6 U-Disk Manager and Double Click on "Floppy Disk Drive (A", it'll ask you to "Insert A Disk"
Note: Highlighting (A, and click OK won't work.

2. Click Cancel then choose the G6 Drive and the Program should appear

)))))

 

[Mushkin]

Glad to help out dsrules... that's a good solution for those that don't own a card reader...

Best regards

 

[Omnigamer]

Thanks greatly for the workaround!
