The Avolites Discussion Forum

We have a pearl 2004. After a gig it came back with soft 2000 installed. Prob. the light guy did a re-program. Now trying to put back the 2004 soft I´m getting an error "invallid program". After this the board is not working, only after installing the 2000 soft. used the soft from the avo-side
What are we doing wrong??

Strange.

Have you tried performing a wipeall before installing?
You might need to update the AVOS before installing the 2004 software.

Neither of the above should have to be done, but is all I can think of.

It would be best to speak to Olie.

Nothing seems to help to get the software loaded. loading 2000 is no problem, updating avos is no problem. Loading 2004 it stays on 0% loaded and says, hit any key. after that run system and comes invallid program. I think we have to use candles to night, unless 1 of masterminds has an solution.

I think I've had that problem before, and it turned out the disks I were using just weren't being read properly. Make sure they have been formatted on the desk and try a few disks. Floppys are notoriously rubbish.

I agree. Sounds like a bad disk. Download software again and write to a new floppy if you haven't tried this yet.

I´v tried it all, swapping disk between 2000 and soft 2004, 2000 runs 2004 not. somtimes loads untill 4% and hangs. tried to update avos first, and after that the 2004 soft, same problem. going back to 2000 soft runs allways.

Ok, I´ve found the problem, it was my disk driver, I made another disk in a other computer and it worked.
So, problem solved!
