Firmware Updates on 64bit

[Jason Finnigan]

I just got an HMC150 and it has version 1.00 on it.. so I went to PASS and downloaded the newest one.. then got an error.. you can't run updates on 64bit? all of my computers are 64bit has anyone found a workaround for this?

I guess I'll just install XP Mode - Haven't ever had to use that - This is pretty poor on Panasonics Part I must say. I could even update my HVX200 on 64bit

Edit: It doesn't work in XP Mode either.. this is making me thing about returning the camera and going with a manufacture other than Pany

Gives me this error "failed in upgrating check all cable connections and retry" (yes says upgrating not upgrading). It detects when I plug in the camera and moves on to the next prompt but then fails with that message.



Any Ideas?

I ended up installing Win7 32bit on a second harddrive to do just firmware updates, kinda sad the trouble need just for firmware updates

I have an older netbook running XP that I use for things like this.

It's sad that older panny camera will update from 64bit bit, but not the hmc150.
