Its always nice when you get something through the post for free that might help you save some money. But not great when it doesn’t work.

So a week ago I set up the meter and its been working a treat but as I like my gadgets I thought I’d add the software onto my laptop and see what I could find out about my energy usage.

In the CD went and all look fine until I started up the software with a message about there is a problem with your software. Great what is the problem?

So I un-installed everything and tried again but still no joy and I got the same error.

So what’s the solution, run the install as an administrator. Yep I’m running Windows 7 (non ultimate) and I ran the setup.exe install program as administrator and hey presto it all installed fine and dandy.

My Dad has installed his on Windows 7 without problem, no idea why mine didn’t work but this might help some other people to fix there issues.

If you are reading this and fixed it another way then post away below and help others.
