Yup ... Agree 100% Li, X10 still supply the CM12's with the *OLD*
version of ActiveHome which usually does cause that error under Win2k
or
WinXP. Downloading the latest version fom X10.com should sort that
issue.

Again, agree 100%. ActiveHome should be regarded as a freebie
application that allows you to play with your CM12. It comes nowhere
close to the functionality of software such as HomeSeer.
