I can't set Beep Mute. When I select 4 from the menu, nothing happens.
Damn.

Confirmed.
On to 3.5! :lol: Hey if that's the only bug left, I can live with it!

Hi all,
first time I am flashing my DM42 (I am on Windows).
Went 100% smoothly from V3.3 to 3.4

Only improvement would be to add in the "DM42 User Manual" a link to where we find dm-tool.exe (under chapter "Firmware Update Using dm_tool")

Sincerely,
Boubker.
Sincèrement, Sincerely, 73,
Boubker

In the meantime you can do "SF 26" to enable beeps and "CF 26" to mute the buzzer.
Hey, are you anywhere near York House, Green Lane West? When I buy from someone who doesn't ship to the USA, I use a remailing service, forward2me, in Preston, Lancashire. That would be a funny coincidence.

Banksie, :D

My windows 10 latest revision will not run dmtool without selecting run as admin.

If you know of a control panel setup flag in windows which will allow me to blanket the computer that I am admin, let me know ;)

Cheers, Geoff

You already know about right-clicking the program icon, choosing the Compatibility tab then checking "Run this program as Administrator" box, right? You only have to do that once. Then, whenever you run that program it will be run as Administrator without having to right-click it.

Done and easy, Windows people, remember to run dmtool as administrator!
No need to do so for me either.

Perhaps it's a limitation for users with long overdue books, sorta like a fine at the Library...

I have both a beta and a shipping unit. The DeviceGUID = "{12CAE235-5639-4AD0-9BCC-6FDFBB2CF570}" for one and DeviceGUID = "{5757F320-8CC7-48B9-B31F-030026DEE239}" for the other one. This explains why I have to rerun inf-wizard when updating both calcs but doesn't explain why no one else has this problem.

Hi,

Many thanks to David, Michael, Thomas and grsbanks who made all this magic happen!
I am on crystal math now...:)

Updated to v3.4a without problems under Linux with dfu-util.
Had to press <reset> twice, though.

Cheers
