Hello – I updated / installed ActiveDriver on an XP laptop and cannot find ActivManager. Is this driver suite fully compatible with XP? If not would it be possible to get an older version of ActiveDriver? Thanks for your help.

Hi Don,

Thank you for posting on the Support Community.

Please could you let us know which ActivDriver version was installed? This can usually be seen when you go to Add/Remove programs.

If you do not see ActivDriver listed on your Add/Remove programs I would recommend downloading and installing again from the below link:
https://support.prometheanworld.com/product/activdriver

The default location that this installs to is:
C:Program FilesActiv SoftwareActivDriver
In this folder you will see an application called activmgr, you can run this to open the ActivManager manually.

I hope this information helps.

Kind regards,
Adam

Hi Adam – Thank you for the response. I downloaded and installed v5.14.14, the same one your link pointed me to. I found the activmgr.exe file, however when I click to run it, it says it’s not a valid Win32 application…

Hi Don,

if this error appeared, then you may have downloaded the 64bit driver rather than 32bit.
Try downloading the 32bit version and installing this.

Thanks

Hi Adam – I confirmed the laptop is 32 bit and the file I downloaded is for
x86, and reinstalled on this and another laptop. Still not working. I get
the following error messages, in order, below.

Problem running post-install step…activrelay.crt

Error starting service ActivControl

Problem running post-install step…Unknown error running…activmgr.exe&

It seems to install on Win 7 fine, but I need it to work for XP. It did
work previously with the old version of ActivDriver we had, but I followed
the link / box to upgrade.

I’d really like to just get sent a link for a previous or possibly original
version of this software – our board is from around 2008 – as I’ve spent
WAY too much time on this already. The teacher is breathing down my neck as
she has planned projects. I just need the thing to work! Thanks for any
help.

When this started more than a week ago I was given service case # 676493.
Hopefully that will have any information you might need to assist me. I
don’t feature sitting on hold again for a half hour, even with speaker
phone…

Now to try and get the projector to work. Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

With the later versions of ActivDriver, we have stopped support Windows XP.

I would recommend trying the link below which contains an older ActivDriver:
https://promethean.box.com/s/0cgurz0r7u77iv5nlmx9zuu6jv4om4ln

Hopefully this helps with this issue.

Kind regards,

I too need the Windows XP ActivDriver version, but the previous link no longer works. Is there any other place where I could download the driver or would it be possible to upload it again?

Thanks so much.

Hello agusbellas,

The links do have expiry dates on but I have made a new link below:

x32 – https://promethean.box.com/v/activdriver-5-8-x32

x64 – https://promethean.box.com/v/activdriver-5-8-x64

Please remove your current driver before you install the above driver. 

Let us know if you need any further support.
