For customers that run into this issue, there are a few workarounds. Customers can install Cobalt 7.2 on their system, which has improved the driver installation. Second, customers can manually install the Gadget. Manual installation instructions are below – this should feel very similar to the process used to install the Smartfade driver on SmartSoft.

To install the Gadget driver manually:

  1. Go to Run and type “devmgmt.msc”
    Alternate: in the Start Menu, search for Device Manager
    devmgmt
  2. In Device Manager, locate the entry for the Gadget. It may show up in ETC Usb Interfaces or in Other Devices.
