I've followed the instructions on this site Windows Software [rtlsdr.org wiki] but i can't seem to get it to open. it seems whenever i put the new setup.config.exe file in it won't load just keeps saying it couldn't open all types of files that are missing. I'm running on windows 8 i also can't seemt o get it to work in HDSDR i'm getting lots of noise but im sure its coming from the soundcard. i looked in exiti/o and it seems it is finding the usb stick and starting it but it still seems to be getting input from sound card rather than usb stick. picture of the stick is attached. any ideas would be greatly

No problem. 1 person wanted to know if i was trust worthy. I know remoting into people computers is like asking for keys to the house. But i think i have very very good standing and rep here on the site.

FYI - Mike also helped to get me up and running with an SDR configuration on my system. I'm new to the whole SDR thing, but it looked like a great way to take my enjoyment of the hobby to another level. I reached out to Mike via PM and he was glad to help me, including offering to do a joint remote dial-in session last night. While remote sessions can be a bit un-nerving (sorry about that Mike ;-), it went fine and Mike did a nice job working with me.

Much appreciated Mike!

Regards,
Mike in NH
