| | When you are updating it on other computers, you do put the 1.1 drivers on those computers first, right? Don't forget to make sure that the VR920 is not being used while you are updating the firmware. Don't make it part of your desktop, don't play sounds through it, don't use the microphone, don't use the tracker, don't have iWearMonitor running in the system tray, etc. |

| Installed the firmware yesterday. Had a few hiccups on the way, but nothing major. The changes in the new firmware are very nice, thanks for the great work Vuzix team!
Just a couple of comments for the frustrated guys:
1) When installing the firmware update the Hardware Wizard didn't find anything automatically for me either. Then I just went with the second option and chose the location of the driver manually. For me it was in: "C:\Program Files\Icuiti Corporation\iWear VR920\driver".
2) When installing the update (the long 10-minute part of it), i had something like 10 errored tries. In the end I turned off my antivirus and firewall software, after which the installation finished successfully in one go. Also keep an eye on the progress bar while retrying, if after several tries it manages to progress further than where it previously errored, I suspect it is a good thing and it is slowly getting where it should. Don't give up  the firmware is worth it. |

| | ok after alot of error messages and unpluging and pluging back in the usb cable over and over i got it working . i had to use a different pc that has a dual boot with linux after i tryed to install it on linux i went back to xp and the updated found it :S , problem was it installed half the firmware and then i got a pop up window saying error and to retry , i retryed over and over and it wouldnt work after reinstalling all software from the start i figured out wat was causing this error when i clicked update i would hear a feedback in the iwear headphones this feedback was from the built in microphone being activated and automaticly set as the default sound input , with the audio config window open i clicked update and sure enough the default sound input would change to the iwear's mic , so i simply change it back while the updater is running and it worked , hope this can help thanks for everyones help a quick question : when was the vr920 first put on the market ? was it 2007 or were they around earlier |

| | Hi all, I was a bit slow on returning my Gogs and it turned out a good move as the new firm ware has unbricked my unit! Only fair to thank all you guys at Vuzix....Todd is a top man! I had a couple of moments where I thought it wont work but it all came good in the end! I have it working in 3D on FSX but will need to sort out the tracking as it still seems to be an issue, well thats a post for another thread! Great work guys, thanks for the support your customers wont forget! |

| | my sound is good , make sure the headphones r pluged in properly , also goto : start, run, type in dxdiag and click the sound tab and try different settings in the slider bar "sometimes full acceleration isnt the best for your setup" . for games like lomac i have to set the slider to standed acceleration or my sound in game is distorted and crackly . |

| I have received my VR920 on 2nd Feb, and it came with 1.0 firmware.
I patiently waited for 1.109.103.13 to be released and when I've seen Carl's feedback I dared to try it. Reading through Firmware Upgrade guide, I followed instructions of installer up to 3rd disconnect and then at about 30% it produced a error.
Now my computer still recognize the device, (Vuzix VR, sub sound, stereo control et cetera), but the goggles screens are dead. Updater reports that my goggles have 1.109.000.-1 version (which is apparently sign of trouble) and "Your Vr920 canot be updated. Please contact Vuzix Tecnical support". I tried to connect those goggles to couple different computers (one win xp 32) and one vmwared version of win xp64, but to no avail.
Any suggestions what should i try before sending the brick back home to NY ?
P.S. calibrator shows version 1.109.000:255 |
