![]() ![]() In this case you should use the driver supplied by Hornby which can be found by browsing to the RailMaster folder on your system. However, for some it does not and this may be due to some motherboard and USB architectures being somewhat unfamiliar to standard motherboard and USB builds. With Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 the driver is automatically downloaded via the Microsoft site and generally works well. With Windows XP and Vista the driver for RailMaster would be selected by you to install from the supplied installation disk. This section is based upon HRMS (Hornby RailMaster Support) own findings since selected members of the forum have had particular issues with the Microsoft driver for RailMaster. The first part of this tip is based on what yelrow (John) mentions on the Hornby forum. This is a guide to what you should see each time before running RailMaster. Take a note of how the screen looks at the bottom right near the clock and how many programs etc the system is running as background services after it settles. This is simply Windows carrying out background checks on ports and indexing files etc, especially when Windows is not in use. ![]() Simply look for slower activity on the LED’s and a quieter and lower hard drive spin rate. Waiting for hard drive lights or LED’s to stop flashing during this process can be a partial waste of time as they will constantly be going whether or not you use the computer. When the computer has finally settled down after loading all the background programs, files and other information you should be able to open RailMaster and have it running normally. After about 10 seconds or so when the eLink has settled power on the computer. Connect a USB cable to the eLink AND computer and then power up the eLink unit. ![]()
