Liquivision X1 attachment and the 64bit OS


Most users with 64bit OS's will need to follow this below, but some of the newest X1's shipped have this conversion done already. A simple test will be if the drivers install without warnings, and the various intall and dive log programs operate OK.

When this update is complete, you can use your X1 components on all 32 and 64bit Windows OS's.

The 64 bit OS in Vista and Win 7 require that all drivers to be "signed" or certified as a valid driver. This is primarily a security feature, and all OS's in the future will insist on this requirement. The 32 bit XP and Vista have allowed un-signed drivers, but with warnings. However 64 bit OS's enforce the signed driver, and that is a good thing.

The attachments supplied by Liquivision use un-signed drivers and components, and these need to be updated to work on the 64bit OS. This utility below will allow you to make the necessary changes, and install it with the signed drivers.

But here is a catch - you need to perform this update using a computer with a 32 bit OS. You will need to borrow or use a computer that has a 32 bit Vista, XP, or Windows 2000 OS to carry out this procedure! It cannot be done using the 64 bit OS computer.



  • 1/ Using a 32 bit OS, download this utility: flash_X1_attach.exe
  • 2/ Plug in the USB and Liquivision attachment.
  • 3/ If this computer has never used the attachment before, it will show the Hardware Wizard will popup. Install the drivers from the file location shown on the utility screen.
  • 4/ Press the "Update Now" button. This will update the identity of the attachment. After a successfull update, the "Update complete" will show. Note that if your attachment is already converted, it will also show Update complete.
  • 5/ The hardware wizard will popup again - use the same driver location as before.
  • 6/ The conversion job is complete.
  • 7/ Now return to the 64 bit OS and install the drivers for it there. V-Planner Live and the Divelog manager will will provide and show the drivers to install.
