No, I'm an admin. I even tried starting the CK with Run as Administrator. Finally I actually logged on as user Administrator and that worked. Even though I have administrator rights on my own username, there's some difference I haven't found yet (other than the CK, of course!) Thanks for giving me the idea to keep on this train of thought.

Hi Tom L,
I had the same with my Win10 computer.
I updated with my old Vista machine.
Maybe you can do the following; download all new (2016) updates from HP's ftp side, but use Intenet Explorer!
Install ConKit and the Virtual Calculator. Unzip the firmware to the ConKit subdirectory "Firmware".
Try to update your calculator again.
Maybe it will helps you, don't blame if not!!!

That's probably the same problem I have with the PC in the school. I am a user with administrator rights but not the "Administrator".
Why do you need administrator right to update the Prime firmware? Has this to do with the CK or with Windows?
That means students will not be able to update the firmware via the school's computers. As it looks like also teachers have the same problem...

My conkit update would load 39 Meg's , but fail on install. Called HP, they were quite helpful...they had me go into safe mode on the computer, and the conkit worked, and the update of the physical unit worked.

Looking forward to exploring the new firmware!

The old method of running updates does a "direct write to disk" at a very low level (similar to what happens when you write your boot sector on a hard drive). That is not something you want to be allowing non-admin users to do.

I agree it isn't good. That is part of why we won't be using it in the future. The new update method that your current firmware supports will do it instead.

No problem to update the hardware device. Works fine.

With the emulator I must use FTP to avoid an error and then I get another error : "mfc120u.dll missing" with Windows 10 64bits

Edit: Have you tried Graph 3D from Han in this new firmware? It gives me an error "Invalid Objet".

Grpah3D problem sorted. The mistake was that I forgot to do the step "Send to class". Thank you for your help.

Hello,
I had the same problem. When I changed to run as admin everything worked fine.
Cheers.

Thank you for developing this update.

That's one small step for a man - one giant leap for mankind.

RE: New Version: 2016.04.14 r10077
I held off a bit until I had no rush to get this update done.

I upgraded on Windows 7 (32 bit) working in Parallels on my MacBook Pro (early 2011), with no problems.

I started up the previous version of the Connectivity kit, and it asked me if I wanted to download the two updates for the Prime and the Connectivity Kit. I did so. When I attached my Prime, I was asked if I wanted to do the update. I did the backup first (Whew! Thanks for letting us know, Tim!) and then the update. That went flawlessly. After that, I had to hunt around for the update for the Connectivity Kit, but when I found it in the HP Connectivity Kit Temp folder on my Mac, I copied the .zip file over to the Windows 7 virtual machine desktop and launched the update from there. Again, flawless. Finally, I had to look up the directions for restoring from a backup, but the Connectivity Kit User Guide told me what to do. Now, I am fully up-to-date, and all restored.

Thanks very much, Tim and HP!

Note:

In Gradian mode, the ARG function returns different results in the Home and CAS operating modes.

Home Mode:
ARG({1+i, -1+i, -1-i, 1-i}) returns
{50, 46.8584073464, -46.8584073464, -50}

CAS Mode:
ARG({1+i, -1+i, -1-i, 1-i}) returns
[50, 150, -150, -50]

The CAS mode is correct.

RE: New Version: 2016.04.14 r10077
Minor comment:

15. Added alpha blend to BLIT commands

But if you look in the on calculator help BLIT has an alpha parameter, whilst BLIT_P doesn't. I suspect this is just an omission to the BLIT_P help text as the help pages for both FILLPOLY and FILLPOLY_P have an alpha parameter in the help.

Next job... add fog to the Racer game Smile

AFiles is a variable - not a function. Anything you can store into directly is a variable.

Look under your application variables and you'll find it there.
