Follow the onscreen instructions to export the files and send them to us for examination.  Detailed information about the problem you were seeing, what you were trying to do, and how you tried to do it. If possible, try to recreate the problem and tell us the steps to recreate it. The three questions that help us help you are:-  o What did you do? o What did you expect to happen? o What actually happened? A video or screen capture of the problem is an excellent way of showing us the bug.   Jands Vista V2 Software Release 2.3.15287 Release Notes 18 March 2016 Jands Pty Ltd, 40 Kent Rd, Mascot, NSW, 2020, Australia Phone: +61 (2) 9582 0909 Fax: +61 (2) 9582 0999 Web: www.jands.com Specifications subject to change without notice.

The USB drive is too small and needs to be clear of any other data. It needs to be a minimum  of 4GB.    2. During the download process, the computer has decompressed the .img file. Check the file  properties on our website against what has been downloaded to make sure they are the same.  If they are not, check the file association actions in the program being used to download. For  example  on  a  PC  you  may  have  to  set  the  file  associations  on  both  Internet  Explorer  and  WinRAR to do nothing but download .img files.     If you are downloading with Safari on a Mac and the download has the wrong name or filesize  you may need to turn off Safari's 'Open safe files after downloading' option.     To do this:     On the Safari menu select the Preferences option.   On  the  General  tab  of  the  Preferences  window  uncheck  the  'Open  safe  files  after  downloading' box.     Do  not  use  Google  Chrome  to  download  these  files.  Chrome  is  written  to  automatically  decompress these file types and the settings cannot be overridden by the user.     3. The date and time on the console is incorrect and is set to a date and time prior to when the  software was compiled. Change the date and time to the current time.       The console does not update even though the bootable USB was selected in the BIOS    The USB drive has an illegal character in it's name. These include spaces, /*‐ etc. It's often the  case that you will see it to set the boot priority in the BIOS but then Linux will not see it to  boot from it. The simple work around is to rename the USB.            a i l a r t s u A 0 2 0 2 W S N t o c s a M d a o R t n e K 0 4 d t L y t P s d n a J u a m o c s d n a j w w w 9 9 9 0 2 8 5 9 2 1 6 + x a F 9 0 9 0 2 8 5 9 2 1 6 + e n o h P Note: While all due care and attention has been taken in the preparation of this document, Jands Pty Ltd shall not be liable for any inaccuracies or omissions which may occur therein Vista Application Product Class: Lighting Console Technical Bulletin Tech Bulletin #TBJLT176     Date: 3 November 2014  Author: Susan Twartz  Distribution: General Public        Instructions for Installing the Vista v2 Windows Package    These instructions outline the procedure for installing Vista v2 on a PC. Note: Users must have full  administrator access to install and run the application.    Procedure:    1.
