[QUOTE="kenwonders, post: 1062369, member: 29743"] I'll answer my own question. I upgraded to 8 then 8.1 last night (doing it like that keeps installations). Amazingly, everything held together through the upgrade, and Mediaportal worked as well after as it had on 7. On the plus side, Ambibox in 'Windows 8' mode actually showed LEDs for MP, TV/Film and Milkdrop. All without any negative frame rate effects. Amazing! Games/demoscene didn't work but I think that's why PlayClaw exists. I didn't enjoy the lack of cofig that is offered in AtmoWin, but I think its usable enough. If the wizard could do a gradual thing like AtmoWin that would probably cover it for me. AtmoWin and Ambibox seem to indicate a different number of channels. AtmoWin will be the number of LEDs whereas Ambibox will be 3 x number of leds. I had to change my Arduino script to ignore the channel byte so both bits of software will work. [/QUOTE]
