Loading the CNC Shark Control Panel Drivers
I can not get my computer to recognize the CNC shark control panel. I follow the videos online when downloading the installation files but it still doesn't work. Attached is a picture of the device information for my CNC shark connection. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Re: Loading the CNC Shark Control Panel Drivers
Yes. Go to nextwaveautomation.com/Downloads.aspx and download the USB drivers for the Shark Controller. You should only have to do this once. Install as administrator and then retry your Shark Control Panel.
Look for:
Run this program first to add drivers for talking to controller
vcredist_x86.exe (Added 01/12/2009)

Re: Loading the CNC Shark Control Panel Drivers
Thanks for the quick reply, but I have tried that several times and everything seems to download just fine. However, when I go to connect the control panel my computer still says it does not have the driver installed. I do get this message (see attachment) after installing the vcred executible.
Can anyone help, this is frustrating not even being able to get started?

Downloading won't install the file. Once you have it on your PC you have to run it. Double click on it to run it, and OK any prompts that come up. Then I suggest rebooting your PC before running the Shark Control Panel.

You may want to review the installation steps found in the Shark Owner's Manual - different operating systems and computers handle the installation a little differently. Be sure to take the time to disable your anti-virus during installation as well.

Re: Loading the CNC Shark Control Panel Drivers
Thanks, I took your advice. I actually removed my anti-virus software altogether and then read the manual. The part where my computer is failing is on the attached page. The icon never pops up for the driver installation at the end of running the executible files. Does anyone know what I need to do to my computer?
