@don172 I have Windows 7 and it works fine, so I guess Bayer have fixed any problems since the comments in the link you put.. I got my Contour USB in early June, and at first had difficulty downloading, since then, Bayer sent an e-mail with the news that the new download was ready to use (link on their website) (sent early July?)
I downloaded this and all is well, don’t use a Mac, but would hope they sorted this at the same time… Good luck – hope it works for you – I love my Contour USB and will keep going with this now…
