Re: X10 Home control kit and Win XP

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Yes Dan,

fixing this problem is actually quite simple...

Uninstall the Activehome software, replace the CD in its sleeve,

and throw it on a bonfire... (Nov 5th isn't far away...)

then get yourself a copy of either:

Autom8it - www.autom8it.com (which is free)
Homeseer - www.keware.com (which isn't free but has a 30 day trial)

either of these products are a gazillion times better that activehome,
which 
is no more than a steaming pile....

HTH
