Dear support/community,
I've just installed FBV control software (version 1.03) through monkey for my FBV express mkII. It all seems fine, but when I run it the logo/startup screen appears and then it just stays ('loading') forever. OK, I don't know about forever, but for more than 15mins which is the longest I've left it. Running vista 32 bit ( I know, bad choice, that's a whole other conversation). My pod x3 seems to work fine connected up to the laptop and also the FBV pedal works fine connected directly to the pod x3 (through the ethernet cable, no usb involved).
Any known issues or ideas how to get the software working? I've re-installed drivers and software a couple of times already and it makes no difference...
Thanks for any help,
Fraz
hello fraz
do you have any 'virtual Midi cables' installed on your PC?
please try uninstalling it and launch FBV Control again

Hi antonio
Thanks for the tip. I have uninstalled my virtual midi cable (Hurchalla Maple, Q:I'm on a Windows PC. Why does Line 6 FBV Control or POD HD Edit (300/400/500) programs "hang" at the logo screen and never go past this startup splash image?
A:Users who have "virtual MIDI Cable" software (a known example is: Hurchalla Maple: http://www.maplemidi.com/Maple_driver.html ) and it works! Thanks. I do need virtual midi cables though. If i re-install, will it start to hang again? Are there any virtual cables known to be compatible? I can always try different configurations myself, just wondering if there is any knowledge on this to save me time.
I appreciate the help, thanks,
fraz
hi fraz
please try installed on their systems may experience a stalled state where the FBV Control or POD HD Edit program logo appears onscreen and the program remains "stuck" trying to load.
Please uninstall your virtual MIDI Cable software application and then try re-launching the FBV Control or POD HD Edit program.
If you need to have a virtual MIDI Cable program running on your system, please consider using LoopBe1: http://www.nerds.de/data/setuploopbe1.exe
this should be fine, please let us know if this works
cheers

Hello again,
That's great, all working now. Awesome support!
For the record, it works with LoopBe1 as you suggested. It also works fine with the virtual cables that are part of or Bome's Midi Translator Pro, which is what I have settled on now.
Cheers antonio, good work!
