Forum: Hardware Technical Support - Topic: Windows 7 and MK2

Just a little FYI I have been playing with the RC of windows 7 and tried to install the MKII with the new 2009 drivers and kept getting the error "The drivers of your sound card are older than the one on this computer. Please reinstall the HDJC package again." Which I am assuming the firmware is older? might have to flash the MKII with new firmware but then again you never know?

Like I said this is just FYI and this box I have it on is for testing purposes and I know VDJ and Herc has no support yet...

Thanks for the info!! Like I said I was just posting my findings thats all not trying to cause any problems. Just wanted to give people who wanted to try windows 7 a heads up on what I am doing.

My mk2 isn't working on Windows 7 (32bit) with the latest driver (2009_HDJS_3.exe). I get this message: "The Hercules DJ Series driver found on your system is older than expected. Please reinstall the Hercules driver package." I've done so numerous but without any success of getting the mk2 working. When plugged in, all lights remain on. I've also tried installing the drivers in compability mode with all versions of Vista, but again without luck.

has anybody solved the problem thanks

The current web package (4.HDJS.2009) is fully compatible with Windows 7

Current Hercules DJControl drivers support Windows Xp, Vista and 7 in 32 and 64 bits. SO the answer is YES, MK2 is supported in Windows 7 and MAc OS X as well.

I installed the new drivers on windows 7 (64bit). initially didn't work then I read somewhere not to connect device when instructed but do it afterwards. Did this and in installed the firmware updates etc. Thought it would work then - no red cross in through the DJ emblem in task bar. However it is still not working for audio as if device is not connected, will not play test tone etc. Any ideas.

It seems as though it's being recognised when pluged in, red cross goes away, I can open hercules control panel. All lights come on then just 2 green audio source lights come on.
