multiple software / hardware problems

[69morpho]

Dear all,

I am encountering multiple problems both hard- and software or a combination of both...

System description:
Controller - SLESA-U7
Firmware - 1.19
Software - ESA Pro Beta
Operating system - WIndows 8

I've tried 3 different SLESA-U7 controllers, all of them seem to encounter similar problems: second universe only works sporadically, loops stop unexpectedly, ESA Pro Beta crashes, etc.

After re-installing ESA Pro Beta, trying to install an older version of ESA Pro on my Win8 machine (didn't load), re-installing the firmware on SLESA-U7 and none of those remedying the situation, I am afraid that my hardware/software combination simply might not work. After testing 3 different SLESA-U7 controllers, all of them encountering the same issues, I am giving up...

Input appreciated. Things are getting slightly desperate here :(

Erwin

PS: Did anyone successfully run an older version of ESA Pro on Win8?
