Unable to tether on Win 8.1

Hey guys,

Am trying to tether my D7000 for capture via LightRoom (or similar) on a 32 bit Win 8.1 (friend's laptop)
But neither LR nor digiCam Control sees the camera as attached.
I am able to access the camera via LR in the import screen, but won't show up during tethering.
I've tried different ports & a different USB as well, same result.

In device manager, i get mass storage & unknown device with a yellow triangle, but auto check doesn't show anything.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Not to sound stupid...but did you turn the camera on? It's a simple thing but sometimes in the rush, we all forget the obvious things. Sorry for interrupting.

Hehe.. Yea Chris.. It was turned on :D
Apparently some changes in Win 8/8.1 causes the issue as the OS is 32 bit..
I had to search for some drivers to make both compatible and now it seems alright!

Thanks for looking :)
