Updating Virus TI takes long time?

[jamie3]

My virus ti takes quite a long time to update. Roughly 5+ minutes. does anyone else experience the same symptoms?

I have done a lot of embedded programming and have updated firmware on many other devices before and have never encountered an update being this slow.

yup, the long wait for the firware to update is the norm for the TI.

Seemed a little slow to me too. Just reframe it as a beverage-making opportunity, or think of it as 'thorough'!

That's pretty good, feels longer to me:)

Count yourself lucky....mine can no longer update at all. So...no Virus Control for me. Ti operates in stand-alone mode only.

Pighood, you have my sympathy. This is a long shot, but when I get myself into a failure loop with technology, cycling through the manual, doing the same things in a different order, headscratching, walking once round the block etc, the solution is often to get another pair of eyes and hemispheres on the matter. Of course, this forum is a bit like that, but I guess I'm thinking about having someone actually standing by your shoulder and able to observe. That's when you get the 'have you tried...?' and 'why did you just...?' nudges that sometimes do the trick.

same for me with version 2.7.3

then i upgraded to 2.7.5 and control came back

I would downgrade to 2.7.3...or to ANYTHING....but I can't. The Virus simply will NOT enter stage 2 of update mode (not BIOS, but the blinking transpose LED's).

What's worse is that Access themselves have no idea what's going on either.

Fukksocks. :(

Is there ANY way to get it to just uninsstall/reinstall drivers without doing a firmware update. its annoying when i had to change USB ports.

[Pighood]

I wish I knew.

Hi all... The interesting thing that I noticed is that updating my TI via Windows XP was approx 2 times longer than with my Mac!

start -> all programs -> access music -> virus ti -> support -> reinstall drivers
