I had the same problem under Win7. I solved it using MatCat's procedure in this forum thread http://www.xcore.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=2497

This thread in the forum seems to be related: http://www.xcore.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 7&start=20

See MatCat's workaround to the problem.

An additional note to the case.

If you have updated the driver and still experience this problem then please double check that your startKIT is plugged into a USB2 slot and not a USB3 slot.

I was having the same problem and none of the directions helped. I ended up reinstalling Windows and it worked. I then installed software one by one and found what the problem was -- iTunes. As soon as I installed it, xTimeComposer couldn't find the StartKit anymore. I had to uninstall every single apple product iTunes installed (iTunes, Bonjour, Apple Update, Mobile Device Support, etc.), and it now works again.

Maybe that will help others out there :-)

I also have the same problem on Win 7. I have two startKits. For some time, both worked ok, but at some time, xTIMEcomposer lost connection with one. I guess I touched the board with fingers and probably some signals on the board got mixed up. Now both statKITs are recognized bya computer, but xTIMEcomposer doesn't find any of them. I tried restarting xTIMEcomposer, project, boards and computer with no difference.Any idea what's wrong?
