Firmware and remote assistant problems K10D

Well I decided to update the firmware and also the Pentax software for windows Vista. Then downloaded remote assistant. The firmware updates are fine and so is the Pentax Browser/lab. But remote assistant doesn't seem to work. Camera is on and connected to the computer. LCD shows Pc. Open Remote assistant and the window opens but it doesn't do anything. I downloaded the manual but there is no trouble shooting section so now I'm at a loss.

Anyone had this issue and any idea what I'm doing wrong? It seems pretty straightforward but I'm having no luck.

Thanks

I dont know if they have updated remote assistant or not but I tried it when it was released for the k10d and it was terrible! it seemed to work at first but take a few pictures and the bugs soon became apparent. i hope they fix/fixed it because it was not usable when i tried it.

Hi

On desktop you need to right-click onremote assistant and run as administrator to make it work in Vista. I had the same prob wth my Vista laptop but i worked on my XP pc

hope this helps

cheers
