I got this as a gift. It came without a software disk. After emailing customer support I got a link to the the following software:

I downloaded this software.  It brings up the software images on my screen ... I can enter my home location in the software ... but the software never connects to the internet ... so I star all over again.  The installation and troubleshooting guide for this software can be found at:

This gadget is supposedly compatible with Windows 7.  I am running Windows 7 Pro on my HP Computer.

    I had the same problem that many seem to have.   It won't accept parameters of location to connect.  I have one computer with XP the other with VISTA and it's the same problem.  I wish someone who has the solution would let us all know what it is.

    I had this working with XP, but never with Windows7.

    I have tried eveything from running as an Administrator, running in compatibility mode XP, and running in XP Mode.  I couldn't ever get the USB device passed into the VM on XP mode.

Tried the reset..tried uninstall and reinstall..tried absolutely everything I can think of. Only got one "server unavailable" error response on one of my reinstalls..after that, no response, no nuthin'! Anyone have any suggestions before it becomes the paperweight I think its doomed to be?

    I was also having issues,

    on the transmitter (USB),  under the batter door, there is a small hole to reset using a paper clip. No mention in the instructions.

     I unplugged the usb connection,

    I removed then reinstalled the batteries,

    tthen pressed a paper clip in the hole  for 5 seconds, then plugged back in to the USB.

    It worked for me
