  1. Problem solved! I've just been playing with it at work, and a colleague pointed out that I still had the SHIFT key "pressed" on the virtual desk!! Un-pressed it and all works well. DOH! Cheers, Phil.
  2. Hi, I wanted to edit a show on the PC which I have saved onto USB stick. So I launched the Phantom went to Super User and LOAD SHOW, it then showed the correct file (the only one on the USB stick), I chose ENTER, came out of super user mode and found that the previous show was still in the Phantom - it hadn't loaded the show from the memory stick. So, I then copied the show off the stick to the desktop, went back to super user and tried to load the show from the desktop - it still wouldn't load the show! So, I then went back into super user mode, chose the option to CLEAR MEMS/SUBS, this didn't clear them either! So went back to the SU menu and chose RESET DESK, still no joy! Thinking that there was a problem with the PC (running on Windows XP) at the theatre, I came home and installed Phantom Jester on my Windows 7 PC, then ran the Phantom (as administrator) and found I couldn't load the show either on this PC! I'm stuck now - as I don't appear to be able to load a show anymore into the Phantom Jester! This is worrying, as I don't know if it is a Phantom problem, or whether it is our desk that isn't saving the show properly. Any ideas? I have zipped the show file and attached it to this post SHOW01.zip Thanks, Phil. PS. I have just tried to load a previous show file which we have sucessfully edited on the PC in the past and this won't load into the Phantom now either! (will attach this file to the post).

  3. We have had this exact problem too!! During a tech run, random lights were flashing. We did find that this was an issue only when the USB keyboard was connected. It runs perfect when not plugged in. Just noticed the patch for 3.3 to cure the problem. Nice one guys
  4. Hi, I must say what a fantastic piece of software the Phantom is - allowing me to "tweak" shows offline - we have a PC in the LX Control Room and can tweak settings without worrying about messing up a live show on the desk! I've brought the usb memory stick home from the theatre tonight, as I wanted to do some offline editing. When I insert the USB stick in to the PC and go to load the show in super user mode (having first set the path in the Settings option) it only allows me to load the show with the latest date (LWF-FULL). I have 4 shows at present stored on the stick, and want to look at the settings from one of the older saved shows (LWFORIG). If I use the up and down arrows either by clicking on them on the Front Panel or by using the up and down arrows on my keyboard the LCD screen just flashes quickly saying "WORKING" then reverts back to the last saved show (LWF-FULL). Similarly if I use the left and right arrows the flashing chevrons alternate between CANCEL and OK. The 4 files on the stick are as follows:- LWF-FULL.JSF 128KB 30/01/2009 22:14 LWF.JSF 128KB 30/01/2009 17:22 LWFORIG.JSF 128KB 30/01/2009 19:33 LWF-3001.JSF 128KB 30/01/2009 19:44 Any Ideas? Cheers, Phil. ps. Forgot to mention that I'm using the latest version v2.1 of the Phantom Jester and our 24/48 desk is v3.2 firmware.
