All I could think of was if the Driver Station user login wasn't "Driver".

The reason why it wouldn't recognize the DS was because it was running under developer. It recognizes it fine now that the DS is in the Driver account.

Does it abort immediately or run a bit before the abort?
Does the Status screen show anything unusual?

With the defaults, a full match completely runs by just clicking the Start under Auto. No other buttons need to be clicked.

I have tried the FMS on Win XP (service pack 2) and Win 7 (service pack 1) both have .NET 3.5 installed. Since I am testing with one DS currently I put in the team number in to blue 1 and bypass the remaining slots (blue and red). Then I simply hit Start underneath the auton time setting. After doing this the program freezes and a windows crash report appears saying FMS has crashed. All computers I have run FMS on have had the same end result.

Another quick question, should the 2009 FMS work with the 2011 robots? I can't get the FMS from 09 to recognize any of the Driver Stations but the 2010 one picks them right up... just crashed unfortunately...

Thanks
