Yeah I think it is the same as on the disc but newest version on line. I dont have a disc but that is what taosgraveyard told me. You just need an unzip program, should be on Windows 7 already, can you just click on it and select unzip or extract files or whatever it says?

Do you know the name of an unzip program that might come standard on a pc? I have windows 7 home basic. Weird part is I had no trouble with my 5.2.

I dont know what version of Windows 7 I have (it worked on my XP machine too)but I just clicked on the file and hit 'extract files' and the rest, as they say, is history. As a wise man once told me, "google is your friend padawan" (ok, he didnt say padawan) Google "free zip file utility"or something like that and see if you come up with anything.

I installed the program V5.3.4 and the drivers. The mini Vbar connects fine and I get the green USB symbol and "connected" when I hook everything up. My problem is I just cannot get the program to display the full window in Windows 7. The bottom cuts right off at the word "serial" and I can't even get the number to register my unit. How do I fix this to be able to see the full program window? Very frustrating since everything else appears to be working correctly.

I would try un-installing the 5.3.4 and drivers. Perhaps it's easier to do that by switching to a "restore point" that is before the 5.3.4 and drivers were installed. My point is...un-install...and then... Are you sure your video drivers are working ok?...run a diagnostic on them? Ensure that your have the proper downloads...made that mistake before... On the Vstabi site, there is a video tutorial that I used. Following the tutorial "to the letter", re-install the 5.3.4 S/W and drivers. Hopefully the problem will be resolved. FWIW |

Windows 8.1 laptop, trying like crazy to get my laptop to talk to the VBar. I have followed Mr. Mel's video to the T, and I still am not able to get the driver to load for the VBar. I do have the Rx (RG831BP (airplane guy) DMSS, because that is what I have laying around) bound to my JR XG11. Confirmed by plugging servos into the Rx, bypassing the VBar completely.
I have registered my VBar etc..... We tried for 4 hours at the local flying field today to get it as well. It is very discouraging for a newer heli guy, such as myself, to get a product in which many locals have and use exclusively. But yet, I have issues.... Understand, I'm most certainly not putting down the unit itself, as I have read that I'm not alone. It simply seems to be the process. I'm headed to IRCHA, on Sat, to seek the help of another JR DMSS/VBar user that my friend knows. *EDIT* Got it all fingered out. Found that if I followed the remainder of the video, it showed that you shouldn't address the label like so,C:\Program Files (x86)\VStabi_53\driver\VstabiUsbDriver\x86 But when I took "driver\VstabiUsbDriver\x86" off the address, the driver loaded into VStabi and the red light bar went green. I was able to fumble my way thru the app. Still have a few things (all) that need looked over before it goes up. Just goes to show that following directions always pays off! And it also pays to read up about something before you buy it, too! Seems like it is pretty easy to use too.

Windows 8 laptop here. Mine did not load the driver on it's own, had to do it manually. I tried the driver/64x and driver/96x subfolders with no luck, but then I chose the plain "drivers" main folder rather than the subfolders and it worked. Hope this helps the next guy.

Hi Guys,
New Vbar User. Previously have been a BeastX guy. I am using a Windows 8 machine. I followed the videos for downloading the software and had to manually direct the drivers. It says the drivers are working and shows up under the USB Driver list. I've powered up the Helicopter (minus motor) and have the Vbar light on. When I pull open the vbar software, it shows USB as Green and a red no connection. Not really sure what I am missing... Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will be using my DX9 for programming and have two DSMX satellites, and tried it with the satellites and without to no success. I have not done anything with regards to my TX being powered. CA |

I just got a new laptop with Windows 10....we know where this is going. I've watched all the videos, no luck...still have the red "no connection". Ive tried to manually install the drivers etc etc. no joy. I've been trying to sort out this issue and do as much research as possible to get this thing working. Not sure what else to try at this point. My computer does not want to show the vstabi in the device manager. Ive gone through this thread and all others that I could find. Very frustrating.

Windows 10 with creators update broke the USB STANDARD and you have to use the workaround to het VBC and Neo updated and after that they wil connect normally.

I'm on Mac so have not had to deal with this yet. But I assume you are correct and why I didn't mention the work around as mikado has not updated the older units in years. I could be wrong but I don't think there is a work around for the older units that I know of. If you have a copy of windows 7 you could use virtual box that's what I use on my Mac for castle and other windows only software. Virtual box is free and works on Mac or Windows.

Older Vbar units connect normally, BUT you need the same version for both PC software and VBar firmware for it to connect, or just do the online update as per videos here

I have managed to get this far. I have literally spent hours on this today trying to get it to work and no luck yet. I did everything that link said to do. When I go to run the "vbr32" in the virtual box this black box pops up asking for a id and password. Any ideas?
