I have been trying to use dm4 on my widows 8 pc. I can not get it to recognize my cobra dive computer. Do you have any suggestions? Also, will there be a DM5 soon?

Agree completlySubsurface is a freeware cross platform logging program that a lot of people have found to work well for them, getting the interface to connect to the dive computer can be a little interesting.
Scubabudie,
When trying to download, are you putting the Cobra in TR-PC mode?
Best Regards,

I always dive with 2 dive computers. Suunto & Oceanic - I'm not crazy about the Oceanic Software, but it works every time. I like the way the Suunto looks - but .....
VYTEC - XP & Windows 7 -
I used DM3 and it worked fine with the VYTEC.
Then Suunto automatically "upgraded" me to DM4 and it took about 5 different tries to get it to download new dives.
---- I spent hours on emails and phone calls to Suunto tec support - they kept telling me to reload DM4 (reminded me of the old Microsoft, "reload windows...reload windows...reload windows..." They could not help me, nor would they allow me to downgrade to their better functioning (for me) DM3 software.
Yesterday Suunto automatically "upgraded" me to DM5 and not only could I not download my new dives, but I couldn't even get the program to work.
---- It took me 5 hours to use "Restore" DM4 and get most of my older dives reloaded ---- I put notes on my computer to only use DM4 with the internet turned off.
If Suunto had of asked me, I would have told them NO!!!! to the "upgrade".
I will NEVER BUY SUUNTO AGAIN !!!! NEVER !!!!! Which is too bad because I love their computers.
